Select Elementary Schools Offer Targeted Learning Opportunities

PSD elementary schools will again offer targeted learning opportunities this summer for students who may benefit from academic instruction over the summer and/or throughout the school year.

Targeted learning opportunities are available at these select elementary schools for summer 2012.

Last year, elementary schools began offering targeted learning opportunities to address the specific needs of students. Targeted learning opportunities are funded with money previously used for the district-wide summer school program.

For more information about summer targeted learning opportunities, please contact your child’s school.
