Summer School Programs

Updated on

The Summer School Programs screen allows the district to set up summer school programs, including the applicable schools, courses, grade levels, start date, and enrollment code. Students can be assigned to a summer school program in the Summer School Programs category in Student Info. When a summer school program record is set to Approved on a student, an enrollment record is added to the student for the summer school, and the associated course(s) are added to Student Requests. Additionally, a communication can be automatically sent based on the status saved on a summer school program record for a student.

Ensure the Summer School Programs menu permissions are assigned to the appropriate profiles in Users > Profiles.
