SUMMER SCHOLARS 2024:
Summer Scholars registration will open on Monday, May 13th of 2024. See your counselor for registration.
HUB Locations:
Couple of things to note:
Fees:
All fees for PPS Summer Scholars classes during Summer 2023 will be waived.
Tutoring Based on staff availability, tutoring services may be available at all program locations.
Attendance -In the concentrated setting offered at Summer Scholars, each absence equals losing over a week of time during the regular school year. If your student will miss more than 3 days of class, it may be best to seek a different option to earn credit.
Enrollment Prioritization:
Completion of Pre-Registration does not guarantee your seat in the class. We will continue to enroll students through the beginning of class, which may result in lower prioritized students being bumped from a class. Our prioritization process uses the students’ current grade level during the 2023-24 school year:
Virtual Scholars at Summer Scholars - Please note that Virtual Scholars classes still require in-person Attendance.
