St. Joseph School District summer school registration is now open.

Students this year will focus on the 4 Cs: Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Collaboration.

According to a press release, the 4 Cs are part of the SJSD Foundational Concepts for Learning, a 21st century learning strategy emphasizing teachers as facilitators of learning, allowing students to work together creatively to solve complex problems.

Middle school students will also have the opportunity to participate in Project Lead the Way Gateway during session one. High schools will offer credit recovery.

The SJSD will also offer the Fine Arts Institute for grades 1-8 and an improvisation workshop for grades 9-12. During the Fine Arts Institute, students will audition for, practice and perform a play. First through fourth graders will put on Disney’s The Aristocats Kids, and fifth – eighth graders will put on Annie, Jr.

High school students will have the opportunity to focus on improvisation in Project Improv. Students will take the art of improvisation and learn to build a free-flowing multiple scene long-form show. Students will learn to edit and connect scenes together, perform with greater depth, start and finish scenes and more. The workshop will conclude with a public performance.

Session one will run from May 25 – June 20, and session two will be June 21 – July 18. Busing will be available to summer school sites for each attendance area. Students may attend summer school at any site, but will need to provide their own transportation if it is outside of their attendance area.
