Registration open for summer programs for SD42 students of all ages

Now that school is almost at a close, it’s time to think about summer learning.

SD42 is offering a variety of programs for students from kindergarten to Grade 12 throughout the month of July.

For those in kindergarten to Grade 6 there is the English and French Immersion program.

According to the school district website, students participating in this free program should be expecting to spend their time outdoors and engaging in activities across different areas of study including STEM: numeracy, science, technology, engineering, and math; or ADST: applied design, skills, and technology.

Program outcomes, the district says, will be linked to grade level literacy learning standards.

The French Immersion program is for students who are functional in French at their grade level.

This program is being offered from Tuesday, July 6 to Friday, July 23, Monday to Friday, from 9-12 p.m. at Hammond Elementary at 11520 203 Street in Maple Ridge. To register go to the Parent Portal. The deadline to register is Friday, May 28.
