Summer Academy
The Dubuque Community School District will offer a Summer Academy for ALL STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN FIRST GRADE during 2024-2025 school year.
The Summer Academy is a FREE learning experience designed to give students a reading-focused enrichment program.
THE PROGRAM
Reading instruction is delivered Monday through Friday mornings by certified district teachers. In addition to fun and engaging reading instruction, optional enrichment activities will be offered in the afternoons to keep kids involved in learning — all because we believe students immersed in learning are positioned to be better readers. Activities are provided by these community partners (and more!):
- Carnegie-Stout Public Library
- City of Dubuque Parks and Recreation Department
- City of Dubuque Police and Fire Departments
- Dubuque County Conservation
- Dubuque County Farm Bureau
- Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
- National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium
