My son was lucky enough to get into the summer school program this year at Roosevelt Elementary. I heard that a lot of kids were on the waiting list this year and he didn't get in last year so I was really happy about it. He goes to a different school for the regular school year so he was excited to go to a new school. I went to the orientation and on the first day of school to check things out. For their orientation, they had a Spanish interrupter.
The cafeteria is nice sized as well as the playground. When the bell rings, they line up on a number (which is the number of their classroom). My son has a male teacher, who he really likes. The summer school program is Monday through Thursday, 8:05 to 2:05. Breakfast and lunch is served free of charge and my son gets to ride the bus which he's REALLY happy about because he doesn't get to ride the bus during the school year.
I am really happy with the summer school program. Every Thursday, if your child has good attendance, they get prizes. Every day is full of learning and fun.
