High School Summer School 2001

Purpose

Summer School is intended to provide students from grades 9-12 an opportunity to improve their GPA by making up a deficit credit.

Note: Summer School is not intended as a program to allow students to finish "incomplete" grades in courses. The students would be expected to fulfill all the requirements of the summer school course; including attendance, assignments and tests.

Summer School Courses

Courses selected for summer school will come from the core disciplines of Language Arts, Social Studies and Math. Courses characterized by a high student failure rate will be held to the same competency standards as are required during the regular school year. A student can earn a maximum of one semester credit.

Method of Assessment, Evaluation and Grading

Students will be held to the same testing and grading standards as are required during the regular school year.

Progress Reporting

Two weeks prior to the end of the term a failure notice will be issued to students/parents as needed.

Composition of Classes

Classes will be assigned by subject area. Students will work from individual contracts with the instructor. Grade levels and courses may be mixed, however, students will be accountable for their own individual progress.

Transportation

Transportation will not be available. No bus passes.
