Added FOCUS-56206- Summer School Programs Feature
Introduces a new Summer School Programs feature that allows districts to manage summer offerings and assign students directly from Student Info. Districts can configure programs with associated schools, courses, grade levels, start dates, and enrollment codes under Setup.
Students can be assigned to one or more programs, with statuses including Approved, Declined, Pending Parent, and Pending School. When a program is marked Approved, the system automatically creates an enrollment record for the selected summer school and adds associated course requests for the student.
Additional functionality includes configurable communication templates for each status, which are sent when records are saved, and support for managing multiple program assignments per student.
A new system preference, "Allow Parents to Accept Summer School Programs," enables parent interaction. When a program is set to Pending Parent, a portal alert is sent (if enabled), allowing parents to approve or deny the program directly. Approval triggers enrollment and course requests, while denial updates the status accordingly.
New permissions are available to control access for both administrators and parents, supporting setup, assignment, and approval workflows. This feature streamlines summer school planning, enrollment, communication, and parent engagement in a single workflow.
