Summer Scholars, 2020 – General Information

ALL STUDENTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO ENROLL IN SUMMER SCHOLARS MUST MEET WITH THEIR COUNSELOR.

Please note that we follow a Prioritization Process for students to be placed in class. This process is outlined below. 

Portland Summer Scholars 2020 is preparing to function like never before. Along with our ever-changing educational environment, our program is also observing, learning, and adapting to how we will best serve students this summer. Please read below for an outline of our 2020 Portland Summer Scholars schedule. 

Session 1:  June 22 - July 9

Session 2:  July 13 - July 30

Students can register for either a morning or an evening course:

AM classes:  9:00 - 12:00pm (teachers available until 12:30pm)

PM classes:  5:00 - 8:00pm (teachers available until 8:30pm)

We will open our registration system to high school counselors by this Thursday, May 21st. 

Counselors will use the same familiar registration process for all students* and will find choices between AM or PM classes in the course drop-down menu. (only one class per session)

*Seniors who need more than two classes: counselors do NOT use the registration system. Instead, please email our counselor, Jazmin Otegui, with the courses your senior needs and we will manually enroll them and communicate with their family.

Cost of Summer Scholars 2020: $0. No students will be charged for their courses this summer.

All students will be enrolled as recommend by their counselor unless we hear otherwise from the student’s guardian.

Enrollment Prioritization 

Our prioritization process uses the student’s current grade level and is as follows:

1.   PPS Seniors

2.   PPS Juniors - credit recovery

3.   PPS Sophomores - credit recovery

4.   PPS Freshmen - credit recovery

5.   PPS Students (grades 9-11) - initial credit (only if there is room in a class)  

6.   out-of-district students - only if there is room

 What this means is that if a class gets too full, we will begin dropping students from the bottom up.
