Summer Plans
For your planning purposes, the following are the Green Oaks summer dates.
- Green Oaks will be closed the weeks of June 6 and July 4. GOAL will not operate these weeks.
- Green Oaks Summer Camp Week 1: June 20-24
- Green Oaks Summer Week 2: July 25-29
- GOAL will continue to operate programming throughout the summer. We will be open each week, except the weeks of June 6, July 4 and August 15. While we will be open the same hours and still have the same modules, there will be some changes to the daily schedules just to keep things fresh. GOAL students are not eligible to sign up for Green Oaks summer camps.
- Summer registration forms were sent home, but please let us know if you need another copy.
- Tentatively, our first day back to school for both GOS and GOAL is August 22. We apologize for sending the wrong date in last week's Gator Gab.
