We have been very fortunate to stay in school during the COVID-19 pandemic and that is because we have outstanding teachers, administrators and staff that care deeply and are passionate about the education of Putnam County students. However, learning loss and gaps can take place when events, like COVID-19, impact school learning. That is why the Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act is requiring that school districts offer summer programs to address those learning losses and gaps created by the pandemic.

The Putnam County School System will be launching a four-week Summer Learning Camp for students entering grades 1-5, and Bridge Camp for students entering grades 6-8. The camps will run from June 1 – 28, 2021 at no cost to families. These camps will primarily focus on reading, math, physical activity, and fun!

Summer Learning Camp (current K-4th) will be Monday-Friday, and each Friday will be designated as a "STREAM" mini-camp day. Our youngest learners will spend each Friday immersed in special projects and instruction involving the STREAM areas of learning (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math).

Bridge Camp (current 5th-7th) will be Monday-Thursday, however, students will have the option to attend LEAPS on Friday, if requested.

All families will have the option of before and after camp childcare from 6:00 -8:00 a.m. and 3:00-6:00 p.m. provided by LEAPS. *You will have to enroll through LEAPS.

Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be served and transportation is provided, if needed.
Location for camps are still to be determined and will be communicated after the survey period is complete.
 
The purpose of this survey is to gain input from families that will help the district team develop an effective and highly-engaging plan for our summer learning camps. The survey should take less than five minutes to complete.

This survey ends Friday, March 26, 2021.

Thank you in advance for your time.
