Summer Camp
Though the public health crisis significantly reduced the number of children we are able to serve this summer at our day camps at the Carver Community Center and Columbus Magnet School, Carver summer students ages 5 through 13 years old will begin summer camp 2020 today!
The program offerings include project-based and hands-on personalized learning to catch-up on learning loss over these past months and to prepare students for the coming school year.
The summer literacy program, facilitated by certified teachers, uses the myON and Lexia Reading Core 5 software to provide personalized learning. NPS certified teachers also teach math sessions, the two primary programs are TimezAttack and ThinkCentral. TimezAttack is a computer-based math fact game that strongly supports fact fluency. ThinkCentral is the online component of the GO Math Common Core math program used in NPS K-5 classes. A Computer Adaptive (CAT) intervention targets individual strengths and weaknesses.
Middle and High School Transition Programs
The virtual (with some in-person experiences) summer transition programs are designed to help incoming 6th and 9th grade student’s transition into Norwalk’s four middle and two high schools.
Programming includes individualized instruction, parental involvement, diverse enrichment activities, and full-day activities. Students learn the basics of navigating their respective new schools. The incoming 9th graders school students learn how to read a transcript, understand graduation requirements, earn credits in courses, and look ahead to potential career options. Students use Naviance/Family Connection to develop an individualized Student Success Plan to identify needs and interests and to set future goals.
Carver summer 2020 programming is subject to public health instructions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Carver regularly updates its website with the latest news. Everyone, please stay healthy and safe!
