Summer Session and Super Start

• Summer Session is a 1/2 day program (9 AM to 12 noon) that runs from two to six weeks during the summer.  Super Start is a 1/2 day program (9 AM to 12 noon)  the week before regular school starts.  Our   experience shows that new students who do not attend Summer Session are much less satisfied with their experience in the Fall.  
• Summer Session and Super Start ensure that new students begin school with the skills and confidence they need to begin learning on an even footing with their new classmates on the first day of school, rather than feeling lost and out of place because they don't know Carden procedures.  
• Cost for Summer Session and Super Start is $50 per student per week.  
• Summer Session is generally scheduled during late July and or August, with consideration of staff and student family vacations. Summer Session 2005 will run from Tuesday, July 5^th through Friday July 29^th.
• Super Start 2005 will run from September 6th through September 9th.
