The Oregon-Davis School Board finalized staffing for the upcoming Jump Start program this week. The two-week summer school program starts Monday. It lets students in grades one through eight brush up on their skills before school officially starts August 9.
School officials say it will focus on reading and math, while also helping students with organizational skills and goal setting. Kids entering kindergarten will have the chance to attend their own one-week version of Jump Start to get them ready, according to Superintendent Dr. Don Harman.
He says that during this week’s school board meeting, members also accepted a $100 donation from the Starke County Farm Bureau for the Oregon-Davis FFA program.
