SUMMERSCHOOL REGISTRATION HAS BEGUN!
In late April, all families were sent a summerschool brochure. They are also available in Student Services and at THIS LINK. Summerschool occurs between 8am-Noon for 6 weeks from mid-June through the end of July. Students can take up to 2 courses. Summerschool is valuable for retaking a class for skill or grade improvement, or learning in some of the useful elective courses offered. Classes are at no charge, and do fill up, so sign up quickly when brochures arrive. Contact your counselor with questions.
