The St. Bernard Parish School Board received an update April 8 on the district's summer learning programs, featuring academic remediation, enrichment activities and career‑technical opportunities for students from kindergarten through grade 12.
Miss Carolla, who presented the item, summarized the district's offerings: end‑of‑course remediation across grades, Accelerated Reader programs, a science team camp led by Miss Capstick at the MoMA Center, a performing arts academy at Chalmette High (this year's production: Newsies), an elementary swim program, and a career and technical education (CTE) catalog overseen by Aileen LeBoeuf. Carolla said the LEAP Connect special‑education summer camp — done in conjunction with the Autism Awareness Crew — will again be at Miro and described it as an uplifting, structured experience for participating students.
Nut graf: District staff said the summer slate is intended to provide remediation, enrichment and work‑readiness pathways, and officials urged parents to check the school website for registration and program details as they become available.
Carolla said specific grade‑level locations include Davies (grades 1–5), Andrew Jackson (grades 6–8) and Chalmette High (grades 9–12) for remediation offerings, and that the Accelerated Reader hours are open to K–12 students. Academic Games and team camps were also noted; registration timing varies by program. Miss Hall (Melinda Hall) will lead academic games, and LeBoeuf presented CTE options for high schoolers.
Board members asked about registration availability. Carolla said swim registration had already been released, while Academic Games registration was still pending and would be handled via Google form; families were directed to the district website for updates.
Ending: Board members thanked staff and teachers for staffing summer programs and encouraged families to sign up through the St. Bernard Parish School District website once registration opens.
