Summary
The Fort Atkinson School District board approved the 2026 summer school program, which includes 125 course offerings, new camps and priority registration March 9–16. District staff said they expect about 1,300 student enrollments and emphasized expanded partnering with community organizations.
The Fort Atkinson School District Board of Education on Feb. 19 approved the district's 2026 summer school program, a package administrators said will include 125 course offerings and an expected enrollment of roughly 1,300 students.
Director of Instruction Amy Oakley presented the plan and framed the session around a "Choose Your Own Adventure" theme. "Our 2026 summer school theme is choose your own adventure," Oakley said, and described new offerings that range from baking basics and yarn art to a young entrepreneurs camp run with the Fort Atkinson Chamber of Commerce.
Administrators said the offerings are designed to match family requests and to provide both enrichment and intervention options across grades. Oakley told trustees the district will again offer camps through BASE and other community partners, and that priority registration will run March 9–16. "We have a total of 125 course offerings," she said, and added the district is "expecting around, 1,300 students." The presentation noted a mix of enrichment, intervention, special-education services and high-school credit options.
Board members asked about meal provision and logistics; Oakley said district meal plans are typically determined with guidance from state and federal programs and that details will be finalized later in the spring. Trustees also praised the breadth of courses and the district's strategy of using registration numbers to determine section counts.
The board moved, seconded and approved the summer-school program during the meeting. The vote carried by voice vote; there was no recorded named roll call for this motion in the transcript. The district said it will publish full registration details on fortschools.org and through direct registration channels in the coming weeks.
