WELCOMEGuilford County Schools is excited to offer a variety of summer learning opportunities� The GCS Learning Loss Task force began to collaborate during the Spring of 2020, on how to support unfinished learning for all students due to COVID-19 for Guilford County Schools Students� The taskforce included families, students, staff, community partners, school board members and administrators� All team members participated in reviewing learning loss recovery research and best practices to recover unfinished learning for all students� During these collaborative meetings; the team used the guidance of legislation from Read To Achieve (SB 387) and Learning Recovery (HB 82) to make recommendations for creating the most inclusive summer learning programs� The team was laser focused on how to improve social-emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes due to the pandemic�

Summer programs will be a critical part of supporting students with learning recovery and acceleration� An essential goal of the GCS Learning Loss Taskforce included designing fun and engaging summer programming to meet the needs of all students in the district� This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the summer plans developed based on the input and recommendations of the Learning Loss Taskforce�

Guilford County Schools is optimistic that all students will participate in at least one of the summer programs� Our students’ social-emotional and academic growth were the most important variables considered when planning for summer opportunities� This book includes a comprehensive list of course offerings and the process for registration�

Registration is a commitment to participate daily during the full session length� Every effort will be made to grant you the needed course offerings� This will be a partnership with our pledged support for all GCS students� Attendance and participation in summer opportunities will be critical to academic growth and an integral part of the teaching-learning process� Parents and guardians are encouraged to report unanticipated absences to your summer school site teachers� An email or written note to your student’s teacher is preferred�

Families should contact their school to complete the registration process for all academic programing except Enrichment Camps�
