Posted4/13/2021 5:15 AM A free summer school course, extra teaching specialists, academic boot camps and tutoring services are among the strategies being explored by Naperville Unit District 203 in an attempt to bridge learning gaps caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Students at all grade levels transitioned to an expanded in-person schedule last week after spending months in an enhanced e-learning or hybrid stage of the district's "Return to Learn" plan.
The reduction of face-to-face instruction during the last year has "impacted each student differently," Superintendent Dan Bridges said, prompting administrators to conduct assessments and develop a response for addressing their academic and social-emotional needs throughout the summer and into next academic year.
