Premier Charter School is excited to offer summer school again this year. At this time summer school is open to current PCS Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade students (current grade level for the 22-23 school year). It will run from WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 through THURSDAY, JUNE 22 (with no classes on June 19). The school day will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. Before and After Care will NOT be offered this summer. Morning drop off begins at 7:50am. Students must be picked up by 4:10pm.

Confirmation on your acceptance status should be sent home no later than the end of April. Information regarding your child's summer school teacher and room number will arrive in May.

Class size will be limited. Once a class is designated as full, we will start a waiting list. If your child is on a wait list, we will let you know so that you can plan accordingly. The goal is to make availability for all interested families.
