Looks like registration will be in ParentVue this year, starting April 12.

The dates are wrong for the second session. Surely there are no classes on Saturdays.

The dates for Required Synchronous Meetings for the second session are: 7/20, 7/24, 7/26, 7/28, 8/2, 8/4, 8/7, 8/9. None of those are Saturdays - they cover 4 weeks with classes on Th, M/W/F, W/F, and M/W.

That’s because they fixed it. Earlier this morning the dates were Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays instead of Mon, Wed, Fri. They also had it finishing on August 8 not 9, with only one class that week (on a Tuesday). Glad they fixed it, but annoyed there are now two classes the week of Aug 7 as that means those dates won’t work for us.

It is annoying it spans four weeks. Why?

The registration process in January was just what it says -- complete a google form, get a confirmation that the application was received, and then get a confirmation of enrollment later, with a final email with teacher/zoom/assignment information a few days before classes started. No additional signature was required. I don't know if summer registration will be the same, but it will probably be similar.

Can I ask what grade your child is in? When do most students take health if they do it online?

My kid who is doing this is in 9th grade. I don't know when is most common for people to take health online. My kid decided to do it this spring because she wanted to preserve summer flexibility for vacations/camp, and she had a sense of her workload from the fall semester that made it seem like it would be manageable to balance the health workload along with regular classes now. She's not sure when she'll do the second semester of health; it's not yet available online, and she might choose to take it during the regular school year if she can't find another convenient time, but she's glad to be getting one semester out of the way.

I think the problem is how late the 2022-23 calendar is. Tuesday 6/20 is day to finalize grades. They need the week to process reports cards and close out 2022-23 data. Then they have to switch to the 2023-24 school year, which updates grade levels, removes graduates, and updates attending school. Somewhere in that week the actual summer school enrollment is pushed to courses and teacher get access to begin planning. I don’t think they can start earlier than 6/28. They won’t push later because athletics starts that last week.
