Remember that feeling?When I think back to summer breaks when I was a kid, I think about the excitement I felt! I remember biking around the neighborhood with the other kids and how we all would race home the minute we heard the bells of the ice cream truck. I remember practically becoming a fish I spent so much time at the pool, and I remember the creative games my brother and I used to come up with to fill our days. I also remember getting the catalog of elective “Summer School” classes that I’d pick through each spring, always hurrying to sign up so my top choices wouldn’t be full before I got registered! I’m sure there were others, but I specifically remember the swimming lessons, bugs class, sewing class, and a Math is Fun class. I won’t admit how long ago it was that I took these classes, but I am amazed at how I can remember them. When I selected classes for this Community Education Summer Youth Programs Catalog, I was hoping that I was setting the stage for moments to be created that will be fondly remembered by today’s youth for years to come. From a developmental standpoint it is important to find a balance between exposing children to different structured learning environments and allowing for imaginative free play. Many of the classes in this catalog allow opportunities for both. I hope that your children will grow up with memories of happy summer days like the ones I had, and that some of those memories include this summer’s ISD 719 Community Education programs.

Sincerely,Carrie Dobie, Youth Programs Coordinator

eco Camp

Camp Eco-Adventure is one of the biggest summer camps offered each year. These programs were designed to locally educate youth to appreciate the environment around them and to become future stewards of our beautiful and vital natural resources. Each year, camp is changed to offer a unique opportunity to returning campers. Camp this June will focus on a favorite component of several previous camps, fishing! The August camp will be a new interpretation of past camps. Both camps provide guided lessons and explorations led by licensed teachers, as well as time to further explore areas of interest unique to the campers in the group.

Fishing with MinnAqua(Ages 4-12)Growing up in Minnesota there is water, water everywhere! Can you imagine what the City of Prior Lake would be without the lake? Ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers are a vital part of our way of life. What lives beneath the surface can seem like a mystery, but Minnesotans have always been pulling fish out of the waters. Start exploring our waters for yourself with a fishing pole, a microscope, and your own two hands. By the time camp is through, we think you’ll love fishing and working to protect the fish and the rest of the living things that keep the fish thriving in the water. Please bring a life jacket, a water bottle, sunscreen, tennis shoes, and lunch to each day of camp. The last day of camp will include a field trip to Lakefront Park.

From the Superintendent

Are you planning on enrolling your child into Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools? Summer is a great time to register your student and we’ve made it easy for parents with one-stop enrollment at the District

Services Center in Prior Lake or online at www.priorlakesavage.k12.mn.us.

By going to www.priorlakesavage.k12.mn.us, parents can click on “Enroll in Our Schools” under the Quick Guide. From there, parents can watch a short video about our E-12 education and get all of the forms needed to enroll their student in school, with step-by-step instructions, all in one convenient location.

Forms can be submitted electronically or dropped off at the District Services Center in Prior Lake: 4540 Tower Street SE. Information about our programs and services such as curriculum, special education, gifted and talented, school-age care through Kids’ Company and more can also be found on the Enroll in Our Schools web page.

Another helpful feature is the School Finder. From our website parents can click on the School Finder link and type in their home address. The neighborhood school will be listed along with a map, school website link and transportation information.

While these customer service features have been designed with convenience in mind, face-to-face interaction remains very important. While online, parents have the option to make an appointment to visit the school their child will attend.

These features have been implemented to make it easier on families who may be moving to the Prior Lake-Savage area and for families who already live in our district and wish to enroll their student from the comfort of their home; one-stop shopping.

We have so much to offer students at Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools and we look forward to welcoming new families this fall.

Summer Safety

For Your Child’s SafetyIn most cases, Community Education provides a Building Monitor or other staff person to be on site when we are offering programs at ISD 719 facilities. These individuals supervise a building or general area, and any Community Education events occurring at that time. Building Monitors are CPR and First Aid Certified and are also available to assist instructors, participants, and families with sign in and sign out before and after class, as well as a variety of other needs. Please feel free to contact the Community Education office or the Building Monitor if you have any questions about summer programming.

Help Us Ensure the Safety of Your Child. Please Follow these Class Safety and Behavior Procedures:

• Provide an accessible daytime phone number and an additional emergency contact when registering your child for programs.

• Drop off your child in the classroom on time each session.

• Pick up your child in the classroom at the class ending time. If you cannot pick up on time, you are expected to make other arrangements for your child ahead of time.

• If someone other than a parent will be picking up your child from class, please let the instructor and/or a Community Education staff person know ahead of time.

• If it is okay for your child (age 10 or over) to walk or bike home following class, please indicate that on the registration form. Please note that children under 10 must be picked up in the classroom or class meeting space immediately following class. Youth will not be allowed to walk or bike home in the dark.

• Inform the instructor AND a Community Education staff person of any allergies, special needs, or behavioral concerns that may help us to provide the best environment and instruction for your child and the other students enrolled.

• The behavior of students is expected to be appropriate for the class learning environment. The instructor and Community Education staff reserve the right to dismiss students immediately, without a refund, when behavior is not appropriate or jeopardizes the safety of them or other students. Should this become necessary, parents will be contacted and expected to pick up children immediately.

Please Note: These procedures have been modified for Summer 2012.
