Middle Country Central School District students from Kindergarten through high school attended the district’s Extended School Year Program from July to August. The Extended School Year Program runs for approximately six weeks to maintain, support, and reinforce subjects in the school curriculum. Throughout its existence, the program has grown from 50 students to roughly 150 students. Next year will mark 10 years since its inception. “The Extended School Year Program allows our students to continue all the skills they have
worked on throughout the school year,” said Katie Haggerty-Ankner, coordinator of special education-PPS and principal of the program. “The teachers and staff create opportunities for our students to grow academically, socially, and independently. An important part of the program is the community outings that provide real-life experiences for these students as they work hard to maintain their Individualized Education Program goals.” During the Extended School Year Program, students can go on bowling trips to the Centereach Bowling Alley or visit the
Middle Country Public Library. The outings encourage students to focus on school work during the week, helping students to become part of the community. The program also allows general education students to volunteer their time during the summer to serve the special needs students and add to their community service hours.
