March 30, 2023 – Decatur Public Schools is offering an opportunity for DPS students to sign up for summer programs through their community partners, and DPS will pay for registration fees.
This is the second year for the Summer Sign-Up partnerships. District #61 will pay entry and registration fees for kindergarten through 12th grade DPS students who sign up and attend summer camps and programs offered through their community partners. In Summer 2022, DPS paid for more than 200 student registration fees through community programs.
“We recognize the need for our students to stay active and involved in programs throughout the summer,” said DPS Superintendent Dr. Rochelle Clark. “This is the perfect opportunity to make sure all our students have access to summer camps and programs.”
DPS will host the Summer Sign-Up Event on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at MacArthur High School. All participating summer programs will be in attendance at the event so that families can see what’s available and sign up students for those programs.
DPS will also host a Community Resource Fair during the same event, to connect families to community resources and programs, including healthcare, workforce development, utility assistance, and more.
