[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent here of an accepted student at Banneker I have heard the summer program is from July 5-29 from 9-12 but I have not heard anything from the school yet.[/quote]

Congrats to your student! It sounds like it must not be "required" since you haven't heard from school about it. If that's the case it's nice to have it in place for kids who may feel they need it or want to do extra summer studies. I hope the school year goes well![/quote]

Current parent here. It’s required. The school can be very slow with communications. They will reach out closer to the end of the year. Last year, I ended up calling to confirm because I was scheduling summer trips and sports camp. They are extremely friendly and open to questions.[/quote]

I don’t get why summer school is required for incoming students.  That’s ridiculous.  [/quote]

It’s really not required.  There is no way a school can kick a kid out for not attending.  Schools can’t rescind enrollment offers for anything at this point.[/quote]

It is required per previous parent. You are just saying they can’t kick you out if you don’t attend.  I suspect it’s like remedial summer school to try to catch the kids up to speed before 9th grade.[/quote]

They do assessments for class placement and team building.[/quote]

This is what we were told also. Thanks for the accurate info. So few HS parents on here and so much inaccurate info.
