Do I need to purchase a textbook for my class(es)?
No. On the first day of school, teachers will pass out textbooks, if the class requires one. The student will fill out a card attesting to the condition of the book, and agreeing to return it in like condition. If the book is damaged or lost, the cost of replacing the book is the student's responsibility.

There are a limited number of partial scholarships available (up to 75%, excluding any materials fees). Scholarships are based upon proof of financial need. Total taxable income must not exceed $35,000- even if you are enrolling more than one child. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, June 1st, 2012. The application holds your child's spot in his/her class/es (do not send payment until scholarship awards have been decided). Click here to download the application. The director will take all completed applications into consideration and award 25%, 50% or 75% partial scholarships soon after the June 1st deadline. You will be notified of the decision and will be given until June 12th to make the balance due payment. After this date, your child will be unenrolled.
How do I know which level of math or reading is right for my child?
Courses in the mathematics and language arts sections are listed in order of difficulty. Teachers give a pre-test to students on the first day of the class and will make level changes as needed. Parents will be called if a change is necessary or recommended.

What if my child needs to be absent for an entire week?
Daily attendance is required for all Academic and Elective classes. If a student were to miss an entire week, he/she would not be able to receive the required credits for the class, or keep up with the progress. In Enrichment classes, an entire week’s absence is possible although not recommended. Please make note of any planned absences on your registration form. Make-up work may be assigned by the teacher.

What if my child is a reluctant participant in summer learning?
Many of our classes are very popular with even reluctant learners. It sometimes helps if the parent chooses one class and the student chooses another. We do not allow one child to compromise the learning of another. If your child is not participating properly in class, you will receive a phone call from the teacher, and possibly an administrator.

How will I know my child’s progress?
Each of the SAEP teachers has a web-based grade program. Both you and your student will receive a username and password. You can access this program at any point during the five-week program and for three weeks after. If you have questions or concerns regarding the grade or attendance of your child, you can email the teacher directly. Also, some of the classes have presentations to which you will be invited, such as art, dance and drama. You may also call the office and make arrangements for a classroom visitation.

How will my young child navigate a college campus?

On the first day only, after second period, the teacher will walk the class back to Manzanita Lawn where you can meet your student.
