High School: Summer School

Summer School 2008 Provides Credit Recovery Opportunity for Area High Schoolers

Sessions Begin June 2; Deadline for Registration is May 28

May 07, 2008

The Wahoo Public Schools summer school program is available for students who have failed classes and would like the opportunity to make up the credit lost. Students who are interested need to fill out the form below and turn in a $25 deposit to the Wahoo High School office. The full amount must be paid before the start of the sessions.

The method of instruction will be through a computer program called OdysseyWare. Students will be able to work at their own pace. We will run two sessions each day with nineteen computers available each session. Students enrolled in the district of Wahoo Public Schools will have first priority. If there are open spots available, we will then accept those forms on a first come basis. Starting date is Monday, June 2, 2008, and the session will conclude on Thursday, July 3, 2008. If a student completes his/her course work before the July 3, 2008 ending date, they will not have to continue to attend. If there is enough time to complete another class, the student will be given the opportunity to enroll in a third class.

The cost of a class this year will be $175. A $25 deposit must be turned in with the form below to hold a spot. Most courses will be available this summer. If you need to take a course that is not listed, please contact Mr. Chris Arent at 443-4332.

Further Information About the Program:

CLASS SESSIONS:

Once you have been enrolled in a particular session time, you will be expected to serve only at that time. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS:

Due to the fact that OdysseyWare is a self-motivated and self-monitoring system, attendance and promptness will not be mandatory. However, it is strongly advised that students attend all available sessions and be on time. Students will not receive credit for incomplete work. REGISTRATION FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED DUE TO A LACK OF ATTENDANCE, PROMPTNESS, OR PROGRESS.

STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE:

Students are to do what they are told and to remain on task at all times. The following will apply to students who cannot abide by this rule: For the first instance, the student will be dismissed from class for the session in question. The second instance will result in permanent removal from the summer school program. NO REFUNDS WILL BE ALLOWED SHOULD THE STUDENT BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR. The students are expected to use their time wisely and efficiently. The students are also expected to respect all materials in the classroom environment.

DAILY PROCEDURES:

A five to ten minute break will be allowed should the student choose to utilize it. Students will not be allowed to leave the school premises for any reason during class sessions. No outside food or drink will be brought into the school building. Food and drink will not be allowed in the classroom area – only in the “break” area. No hats will be worn in the school building.
