County offering summer reading, math recovery program

Published 3:00 pm Wednesday, April 28, 2021

A summer reading and math recovery program will be offered for students in kindergarten through eighth grade in the Lincoln County School District.

The program is not mandated or required for promotion, and is not for credit recovery. It does, however, serve as an opportunity for students to gain and maintain reading and math skills.

Classes will be taught by high quality staff and address Mississippi College and Career Readiness Standards. The goal is to provide additional instruction and supports to address potential learning loss and help students solidify foundations for mastering grade level standards. Students with a current IEP will be provided inclusion services and accommodations.
