Summer School

Overview

Summer schools are separate 'schools' in PowerSchool, students will remain in their regular home building and have a remote/summer school enrollment into their summer class(es). It's important not to transfer students out of their home school or this will also inactivate their regular school enrollment. If a student stops attending all summer school classes you just need to drop their enrollments in the summer school classes and then edit their summer school line on the Transfer Info page.

K-8 students are enrolled in just one homeroom to keep things simple so if a student quits coming to summer school you just need to drop the one class and edit the summer school line on the Transfer Info page.

High School students could be taking multiple classes and could drop just a single class, in this case you just drop the classes. If they are dropping all of their classes then you would also need to edit the summer school line on the Transfer Info page.
