The Rochester City School District and the Rochester Public Library will kick off National Summer Learning week today at the Central Library on South Avenue.
Research shows that students who participate in summer learning programs perform better during the school year.
The free programs are taught by certified District teachers.
New this year is the ROC Summer Virtual Escape Challenge, which is a virtual academy for students in grades 3-6 that includes an online application, tools, and games that students can access 24/7 via google classroom
