Summer School Offers Kids A ‘Last Chance’ To Catch Up Before New School Year … Federal relief money enabled Hawaii to offer summer school for free this year to help students overcome pandemic-related setbacks.
As Hawaii’s schools prepare to fully reopen in the fall, the pressure is on for educators to bolster kids’ academic and social skills to make up for a disrupted — and truncated — school year that left many students struggling with their studies and mental health.
That means no rest for many public school administrators and teachers who will be offering summer school for free to students for the first time thanks to federal relief dollars aimed at stemming the learning loss and making sure kids are ready to get back to the classroom.
