Are students obligated to participate in SSP over the summer?
New SSP students are expected to attend a Summer Readiness Program at their respective schools during the summer before their ninth grade year. The exact time of the Summer Readiness Program will be determined by the school. During this program, students learn valuable information about adjusting to a new private high school, and have the opportunity to meet other students who are a part of SSP. During the summers following 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade years, students who are failing classes or have failed Regent’s Exams may be required to attend summer school in order to move on to the next grade (or to fully graduate). Please note that students’ families will be expected to cover any costs associated with summer school.
