Introduction:
This memo seeks to provide an annual report describing outcomes of summer school programs for the 2017-18
school year. It also provides details on longer term effects for students that participated in summer school in the
2014-15 school year.
Summer School goals:
The district's summer program of instructional offerings will be for the purposes of remediation and enrichment.
• Elementary: prevent the “summer slide” for students
• Middle Math: provide accelerated pathway for students ready to move ahead
• High: provide an opportunity for credit recovery and grade improvement for students to support on-time
graduation and college readiness
• Operation Exploration: provide an enrichment summer camp that integrates content areas by creating
hands-on projects
• Operation Ideation: engages students in design thinking to solve a real-world problem
Opportunities Addressed from Last Year’s Board Report:
• Granted an $850,000/Three-Year BSK Grant to support summer stability for youth experiencing
homelessness
• Expanded enrollment for Operation Ideation
• Partnered with the University of Washington to provide High Quality Instruction in literacy and high
quality professional development for teachers
• Supported the new administrator onboard process
• Provided teacher mentorship for new teachers from schools with high poverty demographics
• Expanded year-round credit recovery by 100 seats
How did those students who attended a Summer School program in 2018 benefit?
• 145% increase in meals served during the summer session (over 27,000 meals served to children in our
community)
• Students that attended the 2017-18 Elementary Summer Program and ended the school year
performing below or well below proficiency in reading…
1
• Experienced approximately half of the summer slide in comparison to their peers that did not attend
as evidenced by the DIBELS and TRC
• Experienced more than double the growth in comparison to their peers as evidenced by STAR
• 95% of students that participated in the accelerated math program earned a passing grade/credit
• 97% of students that participated in the high school program over the summer earned a passing
grade/credit
What are the long-range effects for students that participated in a summer school program in 2014-15?
• ELEMENTARY: In two years following participation in the elementary summer program in 2014-15,
participating students increased their SBA pass rate by 23%. Achievement resulting from participation
in the elementary summer school align with national research, demonstrating positive growth for two
years
• MIDDLE: For those students that earned a passing grade in an accelerated math course in 2014-15,
approximately 93% maintained an accelerated pathway
• HIGH: Of those freshman that participated in the high school summer program in 2014-15 for credit
recovery there is a 97.7% on time graduation rate
What opportunities for growth exist ahead?
• Creative considerations to include more learners in summer enrichment and programs
• Increase student participation in Spanish Dual Language summer program
• Increase opportunities for job-embedded professional training for staff

Opportunities Addressed from 2017:
BSK (Best Starts for Kids) grant application – won!! Summer stability support for 78 grade Bellevue students

Outcomes – 2018 Nutrition
Elementary 6,503 8,391
Overall, we saw a 145% increase in meals served. Why?
• SHS & LH allow for every child under 18 to eat free –
reduced stigma for meal purchase
• As a result, at SHS we offered breakfast and
operated an ‘after the bell’ service to increase
participation
• Need to consider alternative locations for OE to
increase meal participation 10
DIBELS 71% 19% 10%
TRC 76% 19% 5%
