Things are going great!

BASIC has four classes with 45 students at BASIC’s Summer Learning Academy – 12 students in Math, 11 students in Writing, nine students in ELD and 12 students in Reading.

The staff started on July 5 setting things up for their classes at the UCI Steele Burnand Research Center. Parent Orientation was on July 7 and the students started classes the next day on July 8. Classes are from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Kendall’s is providing an amazing hot breakfast and lunch for the students and staff daily.

The Summer Learning Academy will run until August 4 with their Closing Ceremony from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
