The beginning of summer for most of us means a time to relax, take a break from school and enjoy the weather. Here at\u00a0FLOC<\/a>, we have finished our school year programs, congratulated our high school graduates and celebrated another successful year of programs. However, FLOC is also busy welcoming our summer interns, conducting volunteer orientations and trainings and enrolling both new and returning students in our NTP Summer Academy.<\/p>\n

This six-week program is designed to prevent summer learning loss and jumpstart a students\u2019 preparation for the next grade level in the fall. Typically, over the eight weeks of summer break, students who don\u2019t practice their skills will start the next school year three to six months below where they ended the previous school year. This is especially true for low-income, first-generation students. Last summer, FLOC students gained five months\u2019 improvement in reading and three months\u2019 improvement in math.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
