Summer School

There are 2 common reasons why students choose to enroll in summer school.  The first is that they have failed the semester of a class and need to repeat it in order to stay on track for graduation.  The second reason that students will take classes during the summer is they want to get requirements completed to free up more space in their schedule during the school year for classes they are interested in taking.

I talked with lots of students about the need for summer school to stay or get back on track for graduation when we were having our 1:1 meetings.  I have also sent emails to each of these students and their parents/ guardians so that you can get registered.

Worthington's summer school registration is now open.    

1 - Students can register to take classes as credit recovery - meaning that if you had failed a class you can take the class over again in Worthington's summer school.  Credit recovery courses will be free of charge.  

2 - There are a limited number of classes available for getting ahead in credits and those classes will have a fee associated with them.  

Worthington Summer school will run from June 3rd - June 27th at WKHS and free transportation will be available to students who need it.  Registration is completely online on the district website along with tons more information about summer school - check it out at https://www.worthington.k12.oh.us/Page/4034.

Some students and parents have had questions related to taking summer classes through a different school district or through Online schools.  The basic answer is yes, you are allowed to take classes through any accredited school.  Please be sure that they are accredited before you sign up for their classes.  After you have completed your course, they will give you a transcript and you will need to provide that to us at WKHS so that we can transfer your credit.  

You can complete a Google search for "online summer school" to see a range of options of summer school offerings.  (Some students also search for their intended course name to help make sure their search return gives them schools that offer that class.)  You can select any accredited program that works best for you - so look at their costs, learning experiences, expectations, and determine what seems to be the best fit for what you are seeking.

My top tip is to make sure you are signing up for their summer school classes because I do know that in the past students found there was a significant difference in the cost if they were taking a class online during summer school vs. taking a class online during the school year.  The school we receive the most transcripts from each year is TRECA, so that is one option to consider, but it is definitely not the only one out there.

We gave summer school information in your registration packet so you can use that as an additional reference.

Enjoy your long weekend and please be safe if you are traveling!
