This month’s Student Support Services Department campaign focuses on preparing for a healthy and fun summer break. Summer fun means staying safe, active and healthy. Families will be provided information on a variety of local summer programs. Teachers will receive information on how students can stay safe and healthy during the summer months.

In your parent/guardian newsletter capture student successes, school highlights and inform families of end of the year events. Share Summer Resource List with students and families to provide links to summer programs and resources. End the year on a positive note by encouraging Asset Building Strategies so youth feel supported in the transition from school to the summer months.
- Other Adult Relationships, Caring School Climate, Parent Involvement in Schooling - Celebrate students’ accomplishments individually and school-wide to end the year focusing on students’ strengths and successes. Areas for recognition may include academic improvement, participation in programs, “above and beyond” effort, participation in school projects, or being a good friend / role model. Encourage teachers and school staff to acknowledge success through cards, awards, assemblies or letters home to parents.
- Other Adult Relationships, Caring School Climate, Parent Involvement in Schooling - Studies show that students fall behind in academics significantly during the summer. Create summer activities lists with your students. Have students brainstorm activities they can do over the summer to build upon their skills. Compile this information and distribute it to students and families to encourage fun skill building activities over the summer.
