Orientation

Paperwork will not be mailed home; all students must attend an orientation with their parent/guardian. Upward Bound will provide four orientations this year. Save the dates on your calendar. For families with scheduling conflicts, you are more than welcome to set up a meeting with the UB staff here in the office.
Students that do not make it to an orientation or visit the office by May 31st will not be able to attend Summer Academy this year.

Weekly Schedule

Exciting and highly demanded classes will be offered this summer. We aimed to offer classes that students requested last year as well as offer breakfast a little later in the morning. Students, please keep in mind that this schedule is still tentative. Classes listed may not be on the final schedule, but keep your fingers crossed.
