Summer School Credit Recovery

Please note registration will take place in April. More information to come. Questions can be directed to GHS School Counselors.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Important Reminders

  • Summer School 2024 runs Monday, June 17– Thursday, July 25 (Mondays - Thursdays). Please note that students will not have school on Thursday, July 4.

  • You must provide your own transportation to summer school.

  • Students are encouraged to bring earphones to use with the Edgenuity program.  

  • There will not be any virtual options for summer school—all students must attend in person.

  • Summer school utilizes a pass/fail grading system

Edgenuity 
Students will individually work on computers using Edgenuity to complete their coursework. Edgenuity is an online curriculum for students that is student-paced and mastery-based allowing students to work at their own pace. The system generates assignment due dates to ensure students can complete the course by the end of the summer school session as long as they adhere to the due dates; students can work ahead as they are ready to do so. Edgenuity is “mastery-based,” which means the student must show understanding of a concept before moving on. A student has to achieve a 70% on one task before advancing to the next. Summer school teachers help facilitate this learning and can answer questions but for the most part, students need to be self-motivated to work independently and complete their lessons. 

Traditional Face-to-Face Teacher Led Classes
Face to face classes may be offered depending on how many students sign up. Students will learn content from the class that they failed. Teachers will guide student learning utilizing a variety of learning activities.

Expectations
Summer school students are strongly encouraged to extend their workday beyond the summer school day and continue to work from home. For many of the classes, especially the Edgenuity courses, it is unrealistic to expect that students will complete the course during the brief time that summer school meets. If students want to have a better chance of completing their assigned courses and earning credit, the expectation is that they must work outside of school.

  • All students will be expected to attend every day during their assigned time (Period 1: 8–10am; Period 2: 10am–12pm).

  • Students are expected to be on time. Late students will not be allowed to attend class.

  • If any student misses more than two excused or unexcused days, he/she will not be allowed to continue attending summer school.

  • If a student does not successfully complete the coursework, they will receive an “F” grade for that course on their permanent school transcript.

  • Students who fail to show up during their designated class time(s) will be locked out of Edgenuity until they return to summer school.

  • If a student is absent, the parent or guardian must call the summer school secretary to report the absence at (262) 253-3907.

  • If you have any additional questions between now and June 12th, contact Mrs. Elizabeth Mueller at 262-502-7251. If you have questions after June 12, please contact the Summer School Office at 262-502-7323.

We look forward to having a successful summer school session!
