Scituate Public Schools Academic and Social Programs Academic Year 2017-18
Registration Deadline November 22: There is a $25 late registration fee for any forms received after November 22
Programs are open to ALL SPS students, and are staffed appropriately so that children with special needs can successfully participate in them.
We are pleased to once again sponsor another cycle of integrated academic and social programs, as outlined in this brochure. For each program, we have identified highly qualified SPS staff and aide support to provide a low staff to student ratio (usually 1:3 for social groups and 1:4 for academic courses) to assure the quality of this programming for our students.

Math Investigators (Grades 3-5), begins January 11, 12 sessions
This program will work on sharpening math skills in grade level groupings through games and group activities to reinforce skill knowledge. It will also equip students to solve multi-step math problems by teaching strategies to understand the question, identify important information, choose an appropriate strategy, solve the problem and then check to make sure it is reasonable. Students will also work on developing their grade level math vocabulary.

The CORSE Foundation (Community of Resources for Special Education) was established by a group of dedicated parents and educators to raise funds to provide high quality and affordable programming, training and resources that will benefit children with special needs, their parents and educators throughout South Shore Massachusetts. CORSE has designed an innovative model within a blended framework of integrated and specialized social, educational and recreational programs so children with special needs can reach their full potential. Our variety of programs are staffed appropriately through customized staffing ratios and special education expertise so ALL children, those with and without special needs, can successfully participate together within their community.
For 2017, these programs have been generously supported by grant funding received from the Harold Brooks Trust, Evan Henry Foundation, Edwin Phillips Foundation, Massachusetts Bankers Association, Scituate Rotary Club and South Shore Playhouse Associates as well as our community fundraising supporters.
