How to Enroll for Summer School:

 

Kindergarten Jumpstart

Kindergarten Jumpstart is a summer school program that invites incoming kindergarten students to get a jump start on their school year!

Students are enrolled in a summer school classroom and will become acclimated to the habits and rhythms of a typical school day including lessons, naptime, breakfast and lunch, recess, restroom breaks, standing in line, making new friends, and so much more. Jumpstart will run alongside the district’s elementary schedule from 7:35am to 3:05pm each weekday from May 29 through June 27, 2025.

Check back soon for enrollment links. We can’t wait to welcome your little Eagle to summer school!

Where will your kindergartner attend Jumpstart?

  • If your student will be enrolled at Cecil Floyd, Dover Hill, or Jefferson elementary schools for the 2025-26 school year, they will attend Jumpstart at DOVER HILL ELEMENTARY.
  • If your student will be enrolled at Irving, Kelsey Norman, or Stapleton elementary schools for the 2025-26 school year, they will attend Jumpstart at CECIL FLOYD ELEMENTARY. (Please note that Irving will NOT be a Summer School site this year as originally planned, due to a building maintenance update)
