8th Grade Summer Program August 14-25

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers of Incoming 8th Graders,

We are pleased to let you know that the Schenectady City School District will be holding a Summer Program exclusively for incoming 8th graders.  The program will be held weekdays, August 14-25 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Oneida Middle School.  There is no cost for your child to attend.   This opportunity is offered as part of a new grant program called GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) which is a national initiative designed to help students prepare for college beginning in 8th grade.   

We will also be holding a kick-off information session on the last day of camp August 25, 2023 at 5 p.m. at Oneida Middle School.  Parents and their 8th graders are invited to attend and learn more about GEAR UP and how your child will benefit from this opportunity throughout 8th grade.

Please let us know if you child will be attending the 2-week summer program and if you will be attending the kick-off meeting on August 25 by completing this short form:  https://survey.sogolytics.com/r/Cf0bAZ
