Summerschool Registration Forms Still Available
Summerschool occurs between 8am-Noon for 6 weeks from June 24th through the end of July, Monday-Thursday. Students can take up to 2 courses (2 hours each), unless they are taking First Time Phy.Ed. or First Time Health, which occur the full 4 hours. 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 some do fill up, so sign up quickly. Contact your counselor with questions.
Spring Grades viewable in Mid-June, but not available for release until July 1st.
