Greetings Parents, Guardians, and Students:
Welcome to summer adventures in the Medford Area School District! We are delighted to offer
some exciting summer school courses, camps, and programs for summer 2020. Please take a close
look at the numerous opportunities for your child(ren) to be engaged in learning and fun over the
summer months. Due to health concerns during the pandemic, we are offering virtual and distance
learning in the month of June. In hopes that we will be able to have face to face classes in July and
August, you will notice that we have swimming lessons and regular classes scheduled for those
months. Please stay on the lookout over the summer for updates on classes.
All residents of the Medford Area Public School District are eligible to enroll their children who will
be entering Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 in the Fall of 2020. Students who are open-enrolled
in the Medford Area Public School District are also eligible to participate.
For non-resident students who are not open-enrolled to the Medford Area Public School District,
there will be a $25 per course participation fee. Swimming lessons are considered a separate course.
Registration Notes:
Please use the grade your child will be entering in the fall of 2020 for summer course enrollment.
Registration for summer school courses, including swimming lessons, will occur through Sign Up
Genius, beginning on Friday, May 1 at 6:00 a.m. Please see page 15 for registration instructions.
This registration process will also be used for the second session of swimming lessons and any ad-
ditional camps throughout the summer.
Courses may be cancelled if there is not sufficient enrollment or if state health and safety con-
cerns persist. Parents will be contacted if this occurs.
For questions or assistance with registration, please call Sara Budimlija at the District Office at
715-748-4620 ext 522. Parents may also ask for registration assistance at any of our schools.
Paper copies of the Summer School Adventures booklets are available at each building as well.

for continuing updates.
We look forward to providing your child with an exciting, engaging summer program. The adventures
are waiting for us!

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We have a new format this year in grades PK - 6 that we believe will increase the engage-
ment, enrichment, and organization of the program. Students going into grades PK – 6, will

teacher team and includes a week of each of our most popular classes: Library Adventures.,
The Science of Gardening, Fit and Active for Mind and Body, and History Mysteries.

our best friends from the movies. We will explore creepy crawly bugs (A Bug’s Life), toy making and inventing
(Toy Story), arts, music, and sports (The Incredibles), and getting ready for school in the fall (Monsters Uni-
versity)! Are you ready for a fun summer?
SECOND GRADE STINKBUGS
Yo Stinkbugs. What's that smell? Not us, but we are going to find out. Along the way, we are going to explore the
many animals of the world. Then, the sky isn't the limit, for what we will learn about the earth and space. Next, we
will work on our detective skills, as we become code sleuths and scavenger hunters extraordinaire. To round every-
thing off, basic skills for the outdoors will balance everything out. Register soon, so you don't miss out.
THIRD GRADE TICKS
Are you ready for some on-line summer vacation fun? Join us for a fun-filled month long learning opportunity based

good craft activities, library adventures, and indoor & outdoor experiences.
SIXTH GRADE SPITTLEBUG ZAPPERS
This spring has definitely been a CrAzY time! To combat the Covid-19 bug, students will be learning virtually in
June. In this class students will have the opportunity to learn about, share, and combat bugs of all different
types. They will spot and destroy ‘bugs” while learning a computer coding language. Traveling around the virtual
globe, they will learn about far-off lands, and the unusual bugs that creep, crawl, and fly there. They will learn
about Google tools, and use those tools to document and collaborate about a population of bugs around their own
home. They’ll learn about invasive bugs, and create info-graphics with Web 2.0 tools, so as to educate the public of
their findings. Finally, students will be able to explore bugs in literature and create their own characters.
