Summer LETRS sessions are intended ONLY for those who already completed the appropriate volume during the 25-26 school year as an additional support opportunity to meet the required attendance parameters. It is not meant to support working ahead on future units (Volume 2 scheduled for the 26-27 school year). It is the position of SWPRSC and TASN that LETRS training includes an important student activity component that cannot be completed with fidelity over the summer months.
