Summer Programs
We offer targeted summer learning opportunities to help students build skills and prepare for success in the upcoming school year. Whether it’s strengthening reading skills in third grade, easing the transition into kindergarten, or earning high school credit, our summer programs are designed to support students at key points in their academic journey. Explore the programs below to learn more.
Third Grade Summer Reading Program
Strong reading skills are the key to success in school and beyond and research shows that students who read at or above grade level by the end of third grade are more likely to do well in later grades. By identifying students who need extra support early, we can help them build the skills they need to succeed. To support this goal, the Monroe School District offers an in-person Summer Reading Program for students who would benefit from more reading practice.

High School Summer Academy
Monroe School District’s 2025 High School Summer Academy offers an opportunity for any MSD student who is currently in grades 9-12 to earn or recover credits, explore new subjects, and stay academically engaged over the summer.

Kindergarten Jumpstart
A free program for incoming kindergarteners that takes place a few weeks before the school year begins. Students participate in a variety of math, literacy, and hands-on learning activities and receive opportunities to learn basic daily school routines, and become familiar with school surroundings in order to help them prepare for the start of the school year. All of our elementary schools offer Jumpstart; however, participation is optional for students.
