Summer School News
SMS is excited to announce that the Indiana Department of Education has funded expanded summer school options for SCSD2.
Summer school for 6th and 7th graders will be held Monday-Thursday, June 10-13 and Monday-Thursday June 17-20. The classes will be at SMS. Each day is 8 AM to 12 noon. Transportation is not provided.
Some SMS students will be required to attend summer school (all sessions) for promotion to the next grade. Others will be recommended in order to better prepare for the next grade. Letters will be mailed to REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED parents at the end of the week. Information about signing up will be shared in that letter. Decisions will be based on achievement progress, grades, and attendance.
SMS 8th graders will have a three-week summer school program on the SHS campus. Their program will start June 10th and end on Thursday, June 27th. That program, also 8 AM to 12 noon Mondays through Thursdays, will be taught by SHS staff and will serve as a gateway for promotion as well as a jump start on successful transition to high school. Parents of students that are REQUIRED or RECOMMENDED will also receive letters with more information later this week.
