It allows for additional activities, or a break for those not enrolled in intersession, and intersession promotes dialogue between parent and child and classes are by choice. The children don't forget as much over summer. The enrichment activities offered above the general cirrculum It gives kids and teachers a refresher break when needed the most. I wish college classes had intersession off too. I wouldn't mind the trade off with the summer.
Kids retain more with shorter summers.
In the past we have been able to have a crossing guard during intersession. I hope this program has been resolved and I wish we had more support from the community in this area. The intersession would be great if it wasn't so expensive That school doesn't go further into June Different from the rest of the district Rest of the district doesn't use it. I'm sure additional parent and community involvement would make a good thing better. I think it is too bad that we have to justify the continuation of what is obviously a successful program year after year We have no negative comments.
