Chesapeake Public Schools is keeping the momentum alive all summer long! Every student in grades K–8, along with families enrolled in the CPI and ECSE programs, will receive a Summer Learning Bag filled with grade-level resources, including workbooks, reading materials, and interactive digital IXL lessons, all thoughtfully selected by their dedicated instructional teams.
