Summer School Programs
Summer school provides students with additional instructional support to ensure that they achieve proficiency
in the NYS Regents Examinations and earn course credit towards graduation while preparing them for the move
to the next grade level. Summer school is encouraged for those students in grades 9-12 who have not yet met
the promotional standards to move on to the next grade level.
The District’s summer school program for high school students will be located at the student’s respective
home school. Any student behind in credits or who needs to re-take a Regents Examination should register for
summer school. If you have a question about whether your child should attend summer school, please contact
your child’s school counselor at your child's school today.
In preparing your child to be college and career ready by earning the required course credits or passing
Regents Examinations, the SCSD is pleased to provide the following summer school programs at your child’s
school.

during the regular school year to earn the required course credits to be on-track in fulfilling graduation
