SUMMER SCHOOL 

Some students need to take Summer School Course(s) as a way to recover credits they did not earn during the school year. Ninth graders must have 6 credits earned to move into the 9th grade. Two of them must be English 9 and Math. If a student needs those courses or enough courses to get six, that student will take the course (s) in summer school so he/she can be promoted to the 10th grade. Students who take summer school do not have to complete the online Career Exploratory or Health (They will do so at a later time in their high school journey) or the Junior Summer Reading Project. Students will work at their own pace, and will have a two-day mandatory check-in with an ECHS teacher each week either on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday via Zoom. Math classes will be taught as a “live class” on Zoom Monday through Thursday. All classes are one hour long. Parents will have their teen’s login information so that they too can monitor progress on the course.
