With record demand for the Burnaby school district’s summer school program, there’s no room for parents to dilly-dally if they want to get their kids into their courses of choice.
“It seemed like parents were really on the ball and knew what they wanted and got in and picked the courses,” said Ces Martino, district principal in charge of the summer program. Once again, hands-on courses like robotics and art were popular at the elementary level; while math and science courses were in high demand at the high schools, according to the district.Elementary classes are winding down this week, but some secondary courses run until Aug. 5.
“We’re pretty much maxed out with our teachers,” Brandt said. “That’s kind of our limiting factor, the available staff to teach the program.”
