If you plan to enroll in the second semester of a course without taking the first semester in summer school, please be certain that you have mastered the first semester material. Be advised that the second semester of these courses begins without review. Students and parents are encouraged to contact the summer school office to clarify any questions you have prior to submitting registration materials. Course syllabi are available upon request.

Please note: In order to receive credit for a course, students may only miss one (1) day of class and must pass the final exam. Final exams are given on the last day of each session and will not be rescheduled to accommodate absences.
