With Covid some adjustments will have to be made concerning the attendance/participation requirements for Super Summer students. We rely on the integrity of our churches and church leaders to only send students who meet the Super Summer student profile. You should know what students are truly committed and are normally faithful throughout the year not only to attendance and participation, but are committed to growing in Christ and living the life of a disciple on mission in the world. You may want to consider a previous year's attendance/participation or your zoom gatherings this past year or even set up some zoom meetings for the future. Be sure to COMMUNICATE NOW with BOTH parents and students on how you will deal with the attendance and participation requirements so there will be no surprises when you register students on March 1st.
