You will not be able to register for summer school unless you have this enabled on your account. Classes fill up quickly, and it can take 24-48 hours for arena scheduling access to be added to your account.

Summer school arena scheduling access for new families and students will only be available once you have completed your 2025-2026 school year registration.

If you have more than one child, once logged in, you will want to select the child you want to enroll in classes.

Option Column
At any point during the online registration window, you may remove courses and add different ones. To choose a course, simply click ADD. To remove a course, simply click DELETE.

Fit Column
The fit column will change based on the classes you have chosen. If it says "No", this course overlaps with a previously chosen course. If it say "Enr, congratulations!", your child currently is enrolled in that course. "Yes" means you can still choose this course for your child. If a course has "ENR", next to it under the fit column, you child is currently enrolled.
