Summer Learning Opportunities


Duval County Public Schools is offering a great summer learning opportunity for your student. There are two unique programs that Don Brewer students can attend if they meet the eligibility requirements. Here are our two programs:

*3rd graders who scored a Level 1 on FCAT: If your child would have been promoted to 4th grade except he or she scored at FCAT Reading Level 1, this 6-week program is for you. (This program will also accept students who scored at FCAT Reading Level 1 and failed reading on the report card.) Students will work on a portfolio and prepare for an exit test through a rigorous curriculum and intervention plan. Attendance policy applies. All students will attend one of twelve summer school sites.

*3rd-5th graders who received an overall F on their report card for reading or mathematics: If your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade child would have been promoted to the next grade except he or she failed READING or MATH only on the report card, this 6-week program is for you. Students will be engaged in a rigorous standards-based reading or math program to prepare for a grade level exit benchmark test. Attendance policy applies. All students will attend one of twelve summer school sites.

Important Information:
*Students will attend their "neighborhood" school.
*Dates: June 22-July 31
*Don Brewer's Neighborhood Site: Fort Caroline Elementary School (904) 745-4904
