Summer School

We support approximately 3,000 4K-12 students in our Summer School Program, which provides our youngest learners (4K) with an introduction to what school will be like in kindergarten and our oldest students (9-12) with credit-earning classes. Students have the opportunity to strengthen their skills in math, reading, physical education, art, music, tech ed, and many other areas through a wide variety of enrichment classes aligning with core content area standards. Middle and high school students can also participate in a robust strength and conditioning physical education program. During the program, teachers are encouraged to use the outdoors as much as possible for their "learning laboratories." Most of our Summer School staff are teachers and support staff who work with students during the regular school year.

Beyond our five-week Summer School program, students can take music, agriculture, and theatre classes throughout July and August. Other learning opportunities include a middle and high school orientation, advanced placement "boot camps" for high school students taking college-level courses in the upcoming school year, and the Sound of Sun Prairie. The Sound of Sun Prairie, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, is an extracurricular marching band composed of dozens of students in grades 8-12. 

SUMMER 2023 UPDATE ON DRIVER’S EDUCATION 
Sun Prairie Area School District Drivers Education website

The behind the wheel driving lesson schedule will be temporarily closed the remainder of the summer. Students who have received a confirmed schedule from SP-BTW will continue to finish their scheduled lessons this summer. We will not be adding any new requests until the school year begins. 

Students who will be participating in the Summer School Traffic Safety class from July 24th - August 10, 2023 will receive communication after passing the course. This will include how to apply to be added to our driving waitlist as well as further instructions. Driving lessons will commence after the start of the 2023-2024 school year.

Summer School Traffic Safety Students - When you complete your class in August, your instructor will send a certificate of completion to your school email address. It is important that you save this email and the certificate it includes as you will need to provide this as proof to the DMV when it is time to obtain your temporary driver’s permit. 

If you have any questions in August, please contact Shelley Joan Weiss at sjweiss@sunprairieschools.org
