St. Bernard Schools unveil extensive summer programs for K-12 students

Summer learning programs are set to take center stage in St. Bernard Parish, with a comprehensive lineup designed to keep students engaged and learning throughout the break. During the St. Bernard Parish School Board's General Committee Meeting on April 5, 2025, Miss Carolla presented an impressive array of summer offerings, emphasizing that school is far from closed during the summer months.

The summer programs will cater to students from grades 1 through 12, with remediation efforts in place at various locations, including Davies for elementary students, Andrew Jackson for middle schoolers, and Chalmette High for high school students. Parents will be notified as details are finalized, ensuring they are informed about their children's summer learning opportunities.

Among the highlights is the Accelerated Reader program, which will be available to all students, allowing them to read and take tests for extra credit. Additionally, the popular science team camp and a performing arts academy featuring a Broadway-caliber performance of "Newsies" are on the agenda. The summer swim program for elementary students and a special education camp in collaboration with the autism crew are also set to provide enriching experiences.

Board members expressed their appreciation for the extensive list of programs, with Miss Hall noting the impressive range of opportunities available for students. The board emphasized the importance of these initiatives, which not only support academic growth but also foster creativity and social skills.

As the summer approaches, the school board is committed to ensuring that all information regarding these programs is readily available on their website, making it easy for families to access details and registration forms. With a focus on enrichment and remediation, St. Bernard Parish is poised to offer a summer filled with learning and fun for its students.
