    FOCUS ON LEARNING: DON'T "SLIDE" THIS SUMMER!

    LAUNCH sail is an academically based program geared at maintaining and developing academic skills over the summer months in order to address summer regression; also known as the “summer slide”.

    The teachers are responsible for designing their own curriculum to address the needs of the students, with the exception of reading class, in which the teachers are required to use the Orton-Gillingham/Wilson method.

    learning

    have fun

    experience no regression

    maintain academic growth
