11.2. Summer School Update
Rationale:
Summer school notices were sent to all students whose cumulative grade was less than a 65 as of April 2011. The letter informed them that they may have to take classes via an alternative school (Rockville, Enfield) and/or an on-line state approved institution. Additional notices were resent in June to those students still in academic jeopardy.
A total of 11 students attended summer school. Three of these students participated in the free online program offered through the Florida Virtual School Learning Recovery Program of which one successfully completed the course requirements. Eight students took 10 courses at either Enfield or Rockville's summer school programs; one student did not receive summer school credit due to grades and, another student did not pass one of the two courses taken. |
