Great Courses, Great Activities…and a Great Value!

New for Summer 2011: Online Registration

Inspiring excellence is a notion that defines so much of the fall/winter/spring terms at Parker — and is also integral to Parker’s summer classes and related activities. From junior kindergarten through grade 12, Parker’s Summer Program offers an array of learning opportunities in the classroom and beyond. Be it at the Lower, Middle, or Upper School, the focus is on enrichment and advancement, keeping students’ brains in the fast lane during the summer months.

The Summer Program is delighted to advise that complete online registration is now available for the first time! Parker has retained the services and support of CampBrain, the pre-eminent school and camp management software company. We believe you will find the Summer Program’s new online registration convenient and user-friendly. (If you prefer, however, you may complete a paper registration. A registration form can be found at the end of this brochure for your use. You can make copies of this registration form for registering additional students.)

Those of us associated with the Summer Program understand that the general economy continues to recover only slowly. Accordingly, virtually every course and activity has had its tuition or fee reduced by 5% from last summer. Coupled with the “Early Bird” registration option, families can save up to 10% over last summer when registering!

Please review the information, courses, and related activities presented on the pages that follow. Should you have questions about the curriculum, the registration process, or the Parker Summer Program in general, please contact me directly in the Summer and Extended Programs Office, located on Parker’s Linda Vista campus. The Parker teaching faculty, coaching staff, and I look forward to providing a rewarding and fun learning experience for each and every student who joins us this summer.

2011 PARKER SUMMER PROGRAM

LOWER SCHOOL

Lower School Courses For all who have had the opportunity to visit or spend time on the Lower School campus located in Mission Hills, it is clear that this is a magical place. For summer 2011, some exciting courses and activities have been organized. At the junior and senior kindergarten levels, the morning-long Little Explorers is back once again. New for summer 2011, for 1st-5th grade students, several grade level-specific JumpStart courses are being offered. Student numbers will be kept small for all classes to ensure the best possible learning environment, so sign up soon! Also new this summer and as an alternative to our JumpStart classes, a number of stand-alone courses are available. Please see the course descriptions, dates, and times for all Lower School courses, appearing on pages 4-7. The Summer Fun afternoon program typically finds the children off-campus, involved in fun, safe, age-appropriate activities. The youngest kids may enjoy a variety of beach and aquatic adventures, games and crafts — all supervised closely by a veteran Parker staff. Older students (grades 3-5) may head for the beach or embark on field trips to local attractions like Soak City, Solid Rock Gym, Boomers and other destination points in and around San Diego. Regardless of age or grade level, the emphasis of Summer Fun is to have fun and learn about the many features and attactions that give San Diego its unique character.

“Thank you for the welcome extended to Emma during the summer math course she took. Although we were ‘guests’ at Parker, the School’s concern and thoughtfulness were evident from the first day and made us feel like a part of the Parker community.” IRIS HALPERN, 2010 PARKER SUMMER PROGRAM PARENT

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Middle School Courses The Middle School Summer Program courses and activities serve as an important bridge for rising 6th, 7th and 8th grade students, young artists and athletes as they move from the lower grades or prepare for their upcoming Upper School years. The emphasis of the Middle School offerings falls squarely on enrichment. While a slate of JumpStart courses is offered, parents and students are encouraged to consider some of the new classes, including: Oil Painting, a graffiti art course called Tag It!, Lancer Dancers, Guitar, Destination: Space Camp! (offered previously only at the Lower School) and an exciting outdoor course that takes the kids to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Utah Canyons for a week! The afternoon session features Lancer Camp and other fun activities. For students who enroll in morning and afternoon activities, lunch is provided at the Parker Cafe. For students who sign up for only morning or afternoon classes, lunch is available for purchase for $5.00. An Extended Day (after-school care) option for students who wish to remain on campus following the afternoon session (beginning at 3:30pm and running until 5:30pm) is also a special feature of the Middle School program. Supervised by Parker faculty and staff, the charge is $6.00 per hour. Middle School summer students have all their classes and activities conducted on the Linda Vista campus, located at 6501 Linda Vista Road.

Day #6: Head to Zion National Park; hike up the Virgin River to Emerald Pools. Return to Las Vegas; board flight for San Diego. Open to rising 7th and 8th grade students, and rising 6th grade students with permission of the instructor.

DATES: JUNE 27-JULY 8 (M-F) TIMES: 8:00-11:00AM (WEEK #1) CC: MB1V TUITION: $2285.00 Course fee includes $2060.00 for Grand Classroom experience (all inclusive) and the Parker classroom instructional fee of $225.00.

The real adventure begins with Week #2! After a short flight to Las Vegas, Ms. Underwood and the students will be met by representatives of Grand Classroom at the airport and drive up as a group to Utah. Grand Classroom is one of the premier outdoor educational student travel groups in the country, based in Charlottesville, VA. Its guides lead thousands of students of all ages “into the wild” each year. Students come to grasp how a human presence impacts a unique environment — in the Grand Canyon, on Lake Powell and in the Utah canyons — and just as important, how to leave these environments undisturbed upon departure. Students become responsible adventurers, gain an appreciation for the outdoors, build self-confidence and come to understand the relevance of teamwork.

AFTERNOON PROGRAM

Lancer Camp INSTRUCTORS: SETH TUNICK & STAFF

After a morning of stretching the mind, it’s time for students to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer. Parker’s signature Lancer Camp samples the fun and sun that defines America’s Finest City. Heading to the beach, splashing in the surf, kayaking in Mission Bay, sliding at Soak City, climbing a wall, taking in a movie — the list is virtually endless. Lancer Camp provides closelysupervised, safe summer experiences for Middle School students that are always fun!

The student to Grand Classroom guide ratio is 7:1 on Lake Powell, 8:1 in the Utah canyons, maximizing student learning and ensuring group safety.

FENCING

Young athletes wishing to get a jump on the upcoming football season or beginners keen on simply getting the best possible feel for the fundamentals of the game are encouraged to sign up for the Lancer Technique Football Camp. While the primary focus is on throwing and receiving, this camp incorporates other aspects basic to both flag and tackle football.

Beginning Fencing: Learning Sword Skills (Girls & Boys) DIRECTOR: STUART LEE

One of the fastest growing sports in San Diego is also one of the safest. Combining the physical attributes of strength, agility and power with the mental demands of chess, fencing holds great appeal for the student who may not pursue traditional sports programs. This course provides an introduction to foil fencing and couples the traditions of honor and chivalry with the speed, timing, strategy and tactics of a video game.

Daily dress is t-shirt and shorts; appropriate football cleats for Parker’s synthetic turf field are required. Attendees are encouraged to bring a drink and a snack each day. All participants receive a Parker Football t-shirt.

The director, Stuart Lee, is a Foil Fencing Master, a former Pacific Coast Champion, and NCAA Head Coach. All fencing equipment is provided. Students wear athletic footwear, long pants and t-shirt.

Attendance Due to the relatively short length of the Summer Program, absences must be avoided. For those courses receiving trimester, semester or year credit, missing more than one class will in all likelihood prevent a student from fulfilling the classroom hours requirement of the course and warrant a “no-credit” for the course.

Alternatively, students may be registered by completing a paper registration form as in past years. A printable registration form may be downloaded from Parker’s Summer Program link (www.francisparker.org/summer), completed and then submitted to the Summer Program’s office located on the Linda Vista campus. One registration form per child, please. There is also a registration form in the back of this 2011 Summer Program course catalogue that may be removed and completed.

IMPORTANT: If a student will be absent for any reason, please advise the Summer Program office by 7:50am by calling 8585-569-7900, ext. #4236, advising the Director directly or by leaving a message.

Attire Student dress is intended to be casual at all times — thus, cool and comfortable. We ask that students exercise good judgment, however. Recommended attire for girls is blouses or polo shirts, slacks or shorts. For boys, sport or polo shirts, slacks or shorts. Jeans and tshirts for girls and boys are acceptable, but they should be neat and free of holes or tears.

PLEASE MAKE CHECKS PAyABLE TO FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL

Beginning on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 8:00am, current Parker students may begin registering online or submit a registration form by mail or in person. Beginning Monday, March 7, 2011 at 8:00am, registrations for students attending schools other than Parker will be accepted. We recommend that you register online by going to www.francisparker.org/summer. By doing so, you take advantage of one-stop shopping provided by Parker’s newly-acquired registration software vehicle — CampBrain. If you prefer not to register on-line, please complete this registration form, enclose full payment and mail or drop off in person. Please make your check payable to Francis Parker School. Upon processing, confirmation of registration will be mailed. The Summer Program’s policy is not to pro-rate tuition for partial course attendance, unless there are extenuating circumstances. A $50.00 administrative fee, per course, will be charged for withdrawals before June 1, 2011, and the remaining paid tuition will be refunded. A 50% refund, less the $50.00 administrative fee, will be issued for withdrawals between June 1 and June 10, 2011. NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR WITHDRAWALS AFTER JUNE 10, 2011. A full refund will be made in the event a course is cancelled due to under-enrollment. Francis Parker School reserves the right to remove or dismiss a student at any time if, in the sole judgement of the School, that student’s industry, progress, conduct, or influence on or off campus, is not in keeping with the School’s accepted standards, as determined by the School. There will be no refund of tuition or fees when such a withdrawal occurs, nor will academic credit be awarded for courses in which the student is enrolled.
