Summer School

Summer school provides students with additional instructional support to ensure that they achieve proficiency in NYS Learning Standards and NYC Performance Standards in order to move on to the next grade level.  Students in grades 3-12 who have not yet met the criteria to be promoted to the next grade are encouraged to attend summer school.  To find out more about summer school requirements and eligibility, see Chancellor’s Regulation A-501. 

Schools may select their own schedule for Summer School 2008, but the recommended first day of summer school is July 1, 2008. Please contact your school for start and end dates and times. For additional information and important dates, see the Summer School Calendar in the Key Documents section located to the right .

Individual schools administer summer school. If you have a question about whether your child should attend summer school, please contact the principal at your child's school.

For information regarding transportation for students, including eligibility guidelines, see the Office of Pupil Transportation.
