Like many schools, Mahomet-Seymour Schools are finding there is a faction of their student body that has fallen behind in the last year as COVID has wreaked havoc on the school systems. 

For Superintendent Dr. Lindsey Hall, they too are working on developing a summer school program. She says they want to make sure they can bring as many students along and get them ready for the next level or even graduation.

To help get high school students on track, Dr. Hall explains they've offered micro-courses to help with credit recovery. As for the rest of the student body, they will be doing a two-week intensive before school starts in August.

While some students participating in in-person learning are struggling, Dr. Hall says they are seeing most of the struggles from remote learners. The district is also going to focus on the mental and emotional wellness of its students and staff.

Dr. Hall, like her peers, hopes to see a return to a normal school schedule next year. She says that is what is best for all students. She expressed her gratitude for the work of her staff and community's families through the last year and for adapting to all the changes.
