Assessment season is right around the corner. I will be sending information on upcoming MAP dates and how we can be prepared to help our students achieve the best possible outcomes as we end the school year. We still have a lot of time left, however it is time to start thinking about the future. Summer school information is listed below and we are starting to make plans for an amazing 2022-2023 school year. More to come!

Aim High 2022 - attention current 5th grade students

It’s that time again! Summer is quickly approaching and it is time for us at Aim High to start gearing up for the summer 2021! We are looking to recruit students currently in the fifth grade to experience our enrichment summer program. Aim High is a four-year, five-week summer enrichment program for those students who need a little extra support emotionally and academically. The students will take the four core classes, and have opportunities for physical fun and lots of hands-on learning. We partner with SLPS, Normandy, Ritenour, and University City school district in hopes of supporting students to graduate from high school and exploring post-secondary educational options. For more information about our program, please visit our website at www.aimhighstl.org.

In an effort to respond to the needs of many of our community members, recruitment will be done virtually again this year. Use the link provided below to access the recruitment video. This year, replacing the in-person recruitment presentation, Aim High St. Louis will offer our champions and partners access to the Aim High St. Louis Recruitment Video for you to share with your students. The video will offer the students a ‘virtual’ look into the Aim High community. If your school community is able to host a live recruitment session and you would like to have us in, please let me know and we will set up a live recruiting date.

Lock it for Love

Following the tragic shootings of multiple children in the past week, the City of St. Louis is reminding residents about opportunities to obtain free gun locks for their homes, no questions asked. Free gun locks can be picked up at participating St. Louis Public Library branches (Baden, Julia Davis, Divoll and Cabanne), 30 STLFD fire engine houses, and area SLMPD stations.
