The Dual Language Summer Bridge is a two-week enrichment program for current 5th grade students who will be enrolled in the Dual Language Program in 6th grade at George Washington Middle School or Francis C. Hammond Middle School. The Summer Bridge is delivered completely in Spanish, with the goal of “bridging” students’ Spanish language and literacy skills over the summer as they prepare to enter our middle school Dual Language Program. Program capacity will be dependent upon staffing availability.
