Summer school programs in School District 72 are seeing strong early interest, with hundreds of students already registered for this year’s learning opportunities.

675 students have signed up so far, including approximately 625 elementary students and 50 middle and secondary students.

Registration reopened for a second intake period through to June 23, giving families one more chance to enroll their children before programs begin.

The district says it continues to see steady participation in its long-running summer school program, which has been offered since 1981.

It remains one of the only programs of its kind on the North Island and continues to serve students and families each year.

Summer school is offered at no cost to families, supported through provincial funding.

The program has been free to attend since 2007, helping reduce barriers and expand access to learning outside the regular school year.

The district expects registration numbers to increase following this final intake period, with programs continuing to support student learning, skill development and engagement over the summer months.
