Summer learning serves as a valuable transition between school years for many students, filling in academic gaps and building social skills . . . and making it all fun! Clackamas ESD’s extended learning and enrichment programs are wrapping up this week. Here are snapshots of the engaging summer learning opportunities our wonderful staff have made possible for students:

  • Migrant students cracked algebra problems and crafted unique artworks during summer classes at multiple locations. See more photos
  • Heron Creek Therapeutic Program students learned about chickens’ lifecycles in real time by incubating eggs in their classroom and watching as they hatched. See more photos
