• Account Creation will begin on Monday, March 30th at 8:00 am.
• Course Enrollment will begin on Monday, April 6th at 4:30 pm.

This system helps parents manage their child’s summer school enrollment. In this system you will:

• Create an account - (make a username/password)
• Add Students
• Enroll students into summer school courses
• Obtain a copy of student’s schedule

In order to facilitate this and make things easier for you, we implemented some constraints:

• We require that you agree to our terms of use
• We require certain contact information from you
• We limit classes based on your child's age and/or grade level
• Enrollments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once a class fills, it will no longer appear on your enrollment screen.

How to use the system

The system is designed for you to "click around." With the exception of adding and dropping classes, there is really nothing you can do that will "harm" anything. so please feel free to explore all the links and buttons in the system.

One very important note: When filling out a web-form, the information you have typed is not saved until you click "Submit." This system has a timeout that lasts about 30 minutes (if you are idle for 30 minutes, it will log you out).

Please remember your login and password after you have created it!

The system has a very basic layout. At the top is the Menu bar containing links to Home, Help, Logout, etc. Once you log into the system, another bar will appear beneath that which indicates your progress in the system.

Completion Status:

1. Parent Info
2. Student Info
3. Signups
4. Verify
5. Pay
6. Schedule

If, at any point, you do something that would make your progress incomplete (such as adding another student) these indicators should turn red again. However, there are some circumstances they may not, such as you cannot find any courses for one of your students, but you wish to finalize your registration.

If you cannot find any courses for one of your students, this is okay! Just click onto Step 4 to verify what you have selected. If all looks good, click the "Continue to Payment" link that appears and this will tell the system that you are satisfied with your current selections.
