Hodge also said that she anticipates the summer programs will help students who did not meet expectations to achieve promotion to fourth grade.

"From looking at the scores of the students who did not meet expectations, they were very close, and we anticipate the Summer Focus program will give them that specific boost that they need to pass the test," she said. "Three hundred was the cut score, and many student who did not meet expectations made 296, 297 - very close to the score. Plus, with the majority of the students who did not meet expectations, we are aware of some of the interferences they have in their learning, and we have been working on that all year."

Parents will be notified if their child needs Summer Focus classes. The June 7 through June 23 classes will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for students (teachers will be on duty from 8 a.m. to noon). The classes will be offered at five sites, including Arbor Springs, Atkinson, Newnan Crossing, Eastside and Ruth Hill.
