Monticello Schools To Bring Back Summer School

Making up lost classroom time to the COVID pandemic is something school leaders across the country are going to have to grapple with in the years ahead as our country's youth has lost an extensive amount of instruction, especially students that have not been in school in nearly a year.

 

Monticello Schools will be offering summer school and Superintendent Dr. Vic Zimmerman explains this will be what their district does to try to make sure students are ready for the next grade level they will be moving on to.

 

 

The program will have two sessions that span two weeks for three hours a day Monday through Thursday. Dr. Zimmerman is excited about this program and believes it will be a good program for their community.

 

 

Principals and teachers will make recommendations on who should be a part of the program. Districts across the area indicate they have normally very good students that are struggling with remote learning and even more students that struggle who are falling behind in remote learning.

 

 

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of school districts across the country that have yet to return to in-person learning and Dr. Zimmerman counts his blessings every day he lives in a community that supports the local school district and has a Board of Education that sees the importance of having kids learning in-person.

 

 

Dr. Zimmerman calls it a great opportunity to be in Monticello. He believes the Board of Education, the community and their teacher's union are all pulling in the same direction.
