Dear Westville School Community,
Westville School District is happy to announce that Summer Surge will once again take place! If you are looking for a way to keep your students active and learning, here are some great options!
Elementary/Junior High Program at Judith Giacoma Elementary School
Students at Giacoma will explore STEM, science, and art along with meaningful practice in reading and math skills.
Who: K-8th
Dates: Monday June 5th- Friday, June 23rd
Hours: 8:30am-12pm
| Daily Student Schedule | |
| 8:30-9:00am | Breakfast |
| 9:00-11am | Learning Activities |
| 11-11:30am or 11:30-12pm | Lunch |
| 12:00pm | Dismissal |
*Transportation will be provided.
Students will need to be registered by May 5th. Daily attendance is expected. (The district will work with pre-arranged absences, but the expectation is that students will be in attendance unless they have an excused absence.)
Options for Junior High Students
All junior high students will have the option to participate in the K-8 academic program at Giacoma; or the Strength, Speed, and Sport Specific Training at Westville High School. Junior high students who need bus transportation to participate in the WHS SSSST program will have that provided. Those students will automatically be enrolled in a WJHS Academic club in the morning before the SSSST program begins. Junior high students who do not need transportation and/or who do not want to participate in the academic program will be allowed to participate in the SSST alone, if desired.
Programming at Westville High School
Strength, speed, and sport specific training will allow students to continue to grow and develop as student athletes under the direction and guidance of our coaches. The classroom portion of Driver’s Education will be offered to interested students.
Who: 6th-12th
Dates: Thursday June 1st- Friday, June 30th

12:30-2:30 | Classroom Driver’s Ed | |
Students will need to be registered by May 5th. Attendance is expected for all programs. Students with more than two absences in Driver’s Ed will be at risk of losing their credit.
The SSSST program will work with pre-arranged absences (such as a scheduled family vacation), but the expectation for the remainder of time is that students participate daily unless they have an excused absence. High school students who are involved in a spring sport (baseball, softball, and track) will be eligible to participate and can work with their coach to determine when it is appropriate to begin the SSSST program so they can avoid overload with their practice and competition schedules. Spring sport WHS students should indicate if they intend to participate when their spring season is finished.
Project Success Opportunities
Project Success will be offering before and after care programs at Giacoma. The morning program will run from 8-8:30am. The afternoon program will run from 12-3:30pm.
WJHS Project Success enrichment program (for 7th and 8th graders) will take place at Giacoma from 12-3:30pm.
The WHS Project Success program will be focused on credit recovery through a computer-based program for any student who is behind in credits. This program will run from 8-1pm. (June 5th-July 14th)
Register by May 5th to Help Final Planning and Enrollment
All summer programming is subject to student participation, logistical coordination, and availability. If there is not enough student participation some parts of this innovative program may not be able to be supported.
Students are encouraged to sign up by May 5th to reserve their spot and assist with further planning. Families with multiple students should register each child separately.
We look forward to a fun summer experience!
