The Manchester Township School District (MTSD) is excited to offer fun and educational summer programs to interested and eligible students across all grade levels. The halls were buzzing this week as we welcomed students to the summer programs!
Featured programs being offered this summer are the Extended School Year (ESY) and Jump Start programs.
ESY is tailored to eligible student needs with differentiated instruction to enhance their learning experience. Students participate in interactive, hands-on activities that reinforce skill mastery, providing them with a strong start to the upcoming school year.
Jump Start is for Title 1 Basic Skills students. It features lessons that reinforce skills taught throughout the year, ensuring students have ample opportunity to master grade-level concepts. The interactive lessons are highly engaging for students, allowing them to demonstrate their learning effectively. Moreover, the program aims to boost students' confidence as they progress.
At Manchester Township Middle School (MTMS), in addition to ESY/Jump Start programming the beautiful sounds of the MTMS Chorus could be heard. Interested chorus students came together this week to practice and polish their talents:
In the classrooms upstairs innovations are brewing in MTMS STEM Camp! Students are busy enjoying their time in STEM Camp as they plan the "ultimate theme/amusement park!" They have spent the first week of camp planning out the various areas of their theme park such as food vending, signage, rides, strategic layout, entertainment, and more. They will move into the engineering and building logistics of their "ultimate theme/amusement park" as they continue MTMS STEM Camp next week!
At Manchester Township High School (MTMS) one of the summer programs to highlight is the Advanced Placement (AP) Bootcamp! This program prepares students for the college-level AP classes that are available for eligible students to take at MTHS. Students who may be taking an AP class for the first time in September can participate in AP Bootcamp. The Bootcamp focuses on the skills necessary to successfully complete a year in Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Student experiences were created during AP Bootcamp to encourage teamwork, communication, organization, critical reading and writing, and problem-solving. The Bootcamp was interactive and another great way MTSD provides students with opportunities to succeed!
We look forward to continuing to share more highlights about what MTSD is up to as we move through the summer months!
