All right. Um, the mission of Robin Area Schools is to inspire and educate all learners to develop their unique potential and positively contribute to their community. Um the purpose of well everything we've done and uh over the summer with our summer programming um really checks all four buckets on our strategic plan when it comes to academic achievement, student engagement and wellness, community partnerships uh and collaboration as well as staff investment and impact. What what you hear tonight should highlight, you know, various areas of that. Um the purpose of this me of this presentation is to celebrate and highlight the work that we've done um over the summer serving students, families, and community. All right. Uh, this is just a list of the programming areas that we offer throughout the summer. And I'm going to get ready to call up uh, Brian to talk about ESY. Hello everybody. Uh, extended school year uh, ran from July uh, through the month of July. We uh, worked on our two strategic themes. Theme A, student achievement and theme B which was student wellness. Uh and we offered services or services to 175 students uh early childhood through transition age. Uh this is just part of our federal mandate of providing special education services to students who will require that service if they uh meet the need uh through regression in skills, self-sufficiency, uh functional skills and unique circumstances. So students that maybe have medical needs that need services over the summer. uh CA teachers, case managers collect data over uh before and after breaks to show a need for that those services. Uh services we provide transportation uh they get all the services that they would normally get like speech, OT, physical therapy. Uh it's really a fun program. It's fun to work. Uh the highlight for me was we had students at our Cooper uh program do a talent show on the last day of school and they really enjoyed that. Uh so we were at four sites, New Hope Learning Center, Forest, Cooper, and Robbinsdale Transition Center. Uh again, those are our attendance numbers. We had pretty good attendance. Uh a lot of times kids will come for a couple days, maybe families go on vacation, so the numbers could always be higher, but uh we were pretty happy with the number of students that showed up this summer. All right, targeted services. >> Good evening, everyone. I have the good pleasure of talking about targeted services and credit recovery this evening. Uh targeted services is a state funded program. It is a part of our comprehensive alternative learning center programming and it addresses themes A and B. For our elementary target services, we consolidated sites into one at Robbinsdale Middle School. So we had all of the littles going through a very large building and it went beautifully. Uh there was a little trepidation. It went really well. We had just under 400 students attend. We used the same uh curricular resources that we've used for several years for English language arts. We use lit camp which is a camp-like program to uh promote literacy. And we also used Math for Love, which is a game-based program for mathematics instruction, which the kids absolutely love. We brought in a science element this summer for both middle school and elementary. And for our elementary students, they explored circuits in circuitry and very hands-on interactive learning. For our middle school students, they were at Cooper High School. We had a almost a 50% bump in enrollment this year. So, we had 130 kids at the middle level. Uh we used the same curricular resources that we do for the elementary level. And we brought in the works for this group as well, and they studied electromagnetism. Uh, so the power of magnets, it's very cool. Our credit recovery program was held at Cooper High School. This is an opportunity for students who may not have acquired a credit in their first pass through to achieve that credit over the summer. We had 669 students actually attend and we awarded just over 500 credits. So, tremendous. There's a breakdown of where they fall by grades. I want to note that our ninth grade numbers continue to decline because of the success that they are having due to many in large part due to bar at both Cooper and Armstrong. This does align with theme a academic achievement and we use egeneuity as our platform to uh get the results that we wish for. And I'll turn it over to Anthony. >> All right. Thank you again. Um just from a community uh lens, we cover, you know, all four themes from academic achievement, student engagement, well-being, collaboration and partnership, as well as um staff development. You'll hear about programming from adults all the way down to our littles. Um with adult academics, we do offer um programming just in the month of June. Uh we served over 311 311 adult learners during that time um specializing in courses that they were interested in taking. So teachers develop their courses based on that. Uh with our adventure club programming which is our most popular um I always will say that our most popular program in the district. Um you know we uh have a lot of service learning opportunities for for young people. Um Monday through Friday programming where they engage in field trips on-site presentations so on and so forth. We have served over 900 students again this year um uh throughout the course of the summer. and then our uh summer explorers. And this year we also offer super summer explorers programming which is more of a camp-like style program where they're doing um activities such as like robotics, coding, gaming, um water water week, things of that nature. Um we served over 200 students there. Um and then our enrichment are just individualized classes. Once again, another 200 plus students that we served in that programming. Um, unfortunately due to uh some construction things happening within our facilities as well as with the road, we did not offer swim programming this summer, but that is uh back up and running now for the fall. Uh, some community things we did, we talk about partnerships. We had our Explorer Day, which is a really opportunity for families to engage in some enrichment activities for free. No charge for that. We had 26 uh families attend that event. And then we also do our uh windows of opportunity which is our and and our adult programming which is like trips for our adults in the community and different act uh opportunities for adults with disabilities as well. And then we had 21 volunteers across the summer across our programs this summer. We also talk we also employ 22 youth interns um in partnership with uh stepup and Brooklings. All right. ANI. >> All right. Welcome. Thank you for having me. Um I'm here to talk about uh Freedom Schools this summer. Um just a little brief history of Freedom School. Um it was uh out of the Mississippi Freedom Project of 1964. Um I just want to really highlight that Freedom Schools, the first Freedom Schools were um in 1995 in uh Bendville, South Carolina and uh Kansas City, Missouri. So, I just want to give a brief history. We talk about freedom schools, but just wanted to give that um o overview quick. Um so, freedom schools, uh five essential components. Um I really want to talk about the parental and family involvement. This summer, uh we were able to host our family, uh empowerment nights on Thursdays, and it was heavily attended. Um we were able to collaborate with many different outside organizations to bring in uh to come in to share um information with our parents and um also we were able to highlight um our weekly themes um and so the parents to know exactly like what was going on the daily with freedom school and so um I really wanted to um highlight that because our attendance was very high for that. Um the learning model everyone uh when you think of Freedom School you may think of Harambe. Um the components are there. Um the the opening chants are um what really gets the the scholars excited. Um get them ready to go for the day. Um then we move into the readaloud guests. We were able to have um readaloud guests for every day of summer programming. And so that was awesome to have uh programming went this year June uh 17th to July 25th. Yeah. Um and then we were able to have Dr. Stalo come to be a readaloud guest. Um another one we had was uh Lieutenant Governor Petty Peggy Flanigan was able to come as well. Um this year we served 109 scholars. So we actually told CDF we were serving 100, but we actually went over 109. And so, um, a couple of the activities that we had, uh, we always have African drumming, but, um, this year we had inner city tennis. And so, that was a new, um, afternoon activity that we had. And then we also had leadership development. And so, what we did is we that was our level two scholars, which were grades, um, 3rd through 5th. They were able to participate um, in leadership development. They also um I didn't include it in there, but there was also a afternoon activity really focusing on um social activism and then actually what does that mean at that age? Um and because um oh that's the next slide, but here's a highlight um of snapshot of kind of the scholars that we served. Um we had or like I said, we served 109 scholars this summer um with you can't see that, but it was 64 returning scholars. And so that's just a testimony of kind of the work that we're do as a district here. We have returning families that want to um participate in Freedom Schools. Um every year we have the um it's really the hard job that I have to put families on the waiting list, but soon as our enrollment um soon as our registration goes out, it's full within the day. And so that's the I mean that's great on one end and then we're turning away families which you know don't like doing that but um that's just a snapshot that we have. I would say that we had um the most of our scholars they came from that level two which is um grades third through 5th. So that was a lot of our population. Um just wanted to highlight a couple things. So field trip Fridays we went to uh field trips every Friday. Our scholars love that. Um this year uh was our national day of social action. The thing was public education is a public good. And so what we did was we collaborated with the many different freedom schools that are in the area and we uh met at St. Paul College. We marched to the capital and had a rally just to bring awareness to public education. And that was um a sight to see. And there's our scholars there on the um on the picture there. We have those teal shirts so we can recognize everyone cuz there's a lot of students out there. It's, you know, it's hard to keep up with ours. Um, and then we had our finale at the end. We come together. So each week we're building up to the finale and at the end our scholars come and perform everything that they have worked on for the six weeks um totality of the program. So this year was a little different. So I'm proud to um share that we worked with uh our Robbinsdale staff here. We worked with the teachers. We worked with um Baiji State, Black Men Teach, Education Minnesota. We were able to provide um our district with elementary apprenticeship program. And we had six um apprentice through from our district go through the groundup um elementary apprenticeship program. And so it's um we we recruited um staff that didn't have their bachelor's degree and they were able to participate um in the groundup program. Um one stipulation was they had to work freedom schools. And so it's a three-year program and they're able when they graduate through Bumiji State, they they are able to have a uh tier three elementary education license. And so that's kind of the way we're trying to recruit more um teachers of color to um come to Robindale and stay in Robindale. >> I know that was very quick. So the total served this summer uh we served 2,837 students this summer and it's the breakdown of all of the other programs that we had and the students that we served as well. So,
