This summer, Hampton Bays School District students are advancing in academics through the district’s annual Summer Academy.

The academy, which runs through Aug. 17, provides support to students in grades K-12 in English language arts and math. Students work in small groups where instruction is geared to meet individual needs through guided math, reading, writing and phonics-based lessons. Many of the lessons incorporate technology such as Chromebooks, which give students access to numerous educational programs. 

The academy also offers extended learning opportunities to Life Skills students, including visits to the Parrish Art Museum and Hampton Bays Public Library so far. In addition, students work in the district’s garden and have enjoyed presentations from guest speakers, including a dental hygienist and a representative with America’s VetDogs.
