- On
July 13,
Summer
School
classes
will
resume
Monday
through
Thursday
from
8:30
a.m.-12:30
p.m. and
run
through
August
6.
Registered
students
received
an
assignment
letter
in early
July via
email,
with
details
on where
they
will
report,
in order
to start
the
Summer
School
program.
It is
the
first
time
schools
will
welcome
back
students
for
face-to-face
instruction
since
the
District
closed
earlier
this
year in
response
to the
coronavirus
pandemic.
Superintendent
Nikolai
Vitti
said he
sees a
"desperate
demand"
for
in-person
learning,
and that
online
teaching
isn't a
"one
size
fits
all"
approach.
"The
online
learning
wasn't
ideal,
and our
children
have
fallen
farther
behind,"
Vitti
told the
media.
In
the face
of the
ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic,
students
and
staff
will be
required
to wear
masks
and
practice
social
distancing
during
the
Summer
School
program.
Other
precautions
being
taken by
the
District
to
ensure
safety
include
the
daily
disinfecting
of
classrooms
and
buses as
well as
smaller
class
sizes. A
10-15
student
to adult
ratio
will be
enforced
in
classrooms
for the
Summer
School
program.
DPSCD
will
continue
to
provide
meals to
students.
Breakfast
will be
provided
from 8
a.m.-8:30
a.m.
each day
during
the
Summer
School
program,
and
students
will
receive
their
lunch as
they are
exiting
for the
day.
Please
note,
DPSCD is
still
serving
breakfast
and
lunch at
its Grab
and Go
meal
sites
for
families.
The
School
System
request
that any
student
who did
not
receive
an
assignment
letter,
to
please
contact
the
DPSCD
Help
Desk at
(313)
240-4377
to be
provided
school
and
classroom
assignment
information.
For
Summer
School
2020,
the
District
is
