Perry Township Schools, this week, is providing educational programs to multiple groups during student Intersession at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, for those students on the Perry-side and at Southport Elementary for the Southport-side elementary schools. “This is a unique opportunity to not only assist those students who need help but to help others gain new information and the best part of the four days in class is that teachers make it fun”, says Superintendent Dr. Tom Little.

Intersession runs from Monday, March 21^st through Thursday, March 24^th. Students will attend from 7:30-11:30 am. Breakfast and a snack will be provided to all students who attend. At the elementary level, there are 160 students enrolled in elementary reading courses, 142 High Ability/High Achieving students in 4^th and 5^th grade and 80 English Learner students in grades 4^th and 5^th.

Almost 400 students chose to enroll in classes in which they clearly understand the importance of taking time to focus on one subject.  “We are excited to provide learning opportunities in which our students can be actively engaged in differentiated instruction that is targeted to increase their specific skills”, stated Assistant Superintendent of elementary education, Vickie Carpenter. “Our High Achieving students will use problem-based instruction that is focused on real-world experiences. It will be an action packed 4 days of fun and learning for about 400 of our elementary students”, concluded Mrs. Carpenter.
