One of the programs is STAR (Students and Teachers Achieving Results), a general education remedial program for students entering grades 6-8 and ENL 9th graders that runs half days from July 9 through August 1.

Traditionally K-5 elementary classroom placements have been shared on or about August 1.

This additional time will ensure that we are thoughtful with the placement of your child.
