Dear MGI/GU Parent/Guardian:
The Middle Grades Initiative/GEAR UP (MGI/GU) Program will host its fourth annual Summer Academy on the City College of New York campus from Tuesday, July 6, through Friday, July 22, 2010. The sessions will be held Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
The English Language Arts (ELA) lessons and activities will focus on literacy responses and expressions, critical writing, analysis and evaluation in preparation of the New York State English Regents exam. The services will be provided through whole group, small group and individual instruction. The students will receive college awareness services in preparation for the Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test (PSAT), Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and the college application process.
The students will participate in a cultural field trip during the Summer Academy. All students will receive lunch and metro cards to travel between the home and the City College. The program will consist of 2 New York City Department of Education English teachers, 2 MGI/GU ELA tutors, and a program advisor.
If you would like for your child to attend the MGI/GU Summer Academy, please complete the attached application and return to your child’s ELA teacher, MGI/GU ELA tutor or advisor on or before Friday, June 11, 2010.
