2025 Summer Learning Programs
Wayzata Public Schools' Summer Learning is designed for public-school students who meet qualifying criteria in a given program. Students are recommended by their classroom teachers (elementary/middle school) or guidance counselor (high school). Due to the accelerated pace of summer school, attendance is very important; students may miss a maximum of two days. Students will be dropped if absences exceed this limit. Students participating in Summer Learning are expected to improve their performance by 10% in the chosen focus areas (elementary/middle school) or recover graduation required credits (high school). All students will be required to meet attendance requirements.
Please contact your student's teacher or guidance counselor with any questions.
