June Summer School Updates
In the coming weeks, teachers and campus leadership will be contacting families of students whose status is "promotion-in-doubt." Promotion-in-doubt refers to students' semester or cycle grades being less than the 70% passing standard or significant absences that prevent the awarding of credit.
Academic counselors are working closely with students who are at risk of retention. Summer School will be held from June 1-12, 2020 and may be offered online due to COVID-19. More details will be provided as there are updates on statewide requirements for continued social distancing and quarantine.
If your student's current academic standing may require summer school, you will be contacted in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, please reach out if you have any questions about your child's current classwork and expectations.
