Montana City School summer programs a success

This summer, Montana City School took on the challenge of maintaining and improving students’ educational and social well-being by hosting two programs: summer school and a social skill camp. Both appear to have been successful.

“In an effort to decrease the amount of regression and therefore the amount of time teachers have to spend in the fall to catch students back up to their spring level, Montana City School (MCS) made a commitment to provide opportunities to help students maintain the skills they developed,” Cori Trudeau, the principal for third through fifth grade at MCS, told The Monitor.

Of the 30 students regularly attending the two-hour sessions, three times a week, Trudeau said 28 of them maintained or improved their math or reading skills over the summer. Several students also improved or maintained their skills in both subjects.​​
