Summer Bridge

Goal 1 of our SLC Grant is to provide stronger, "ACADEMIC AND STUDENT SUPPORT INTERVENTIONS FOR TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL.". This year our Summer Bridge program has been redesigned to do just that! Summer Bridge is a 4-week program during June & July for incoming 9^th grade students. The program is designed to ease the transition from middle to high school by reviewing the key “elements” of high school: organization and study skills, mathematics and literacy, and the social awareness needed to succeed in high school. Skills will be brought together in the program as we explore the real elements around us: fire, earth, air, and water.

Summer Bridge Students will:

1. Jump start success by attending high school classes focused on academic, social, and study skills.
2. Earn credit toward graduation.
3. Attend on and off campus activities.
4. Receive introductions and invitations to join various student clubs and organizations.
5. Work with teachers that will help them grow as individuals, as well as students.
6. Get to know teachers and staff members at Kapa'a High School.
7. Gain the confidence and skills to begin freshman year on the right foot!

The program will take place from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. from June 13 to July 11, on the Kapa’a High School campus. Incoming 9^th grade students who want to improve their chances of success in high school algebra by strengthening their math skills and getting a head start on their high school experience. Enrollment will be first come, first served. Enrollment preference will be given to students with failing grades, but all students may apply and everyone can benefit.
