If you are in danger of failing a class, here are some important changes you need to know about.

Have you ever wondered what happens if you don’t pass a class? For many students, the answer is summer school. This year, significant changes have been made to the program

 To find more information about this, our staff spoke to Samantha Comeau, one of the deans and the summer school coordinator. 

“Previously, students who failed a course for the year would take classes online. Students would come in or log on from home and take the classes available to them online through a platform we partnered with called Edgenuity,” explained Ms. Comeau. 

This year is going to be different.

“Everyone is coming in person and the teachers are going to teach live classes. So it’s no more online. It’s all in-person learning, kind of just like the school year,” said Comeau. 

When asked about how will students know if they will have to take summer school or not, Comeau said that she and the guidance counselors are going to be reaching out to students on the verge of failing a class during finals week and shortly after finals week. 

The summer school program will run for five weeks, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM every day and it starts the week of the 4th of July. However, students should note that they can only make up a maximum of two classes in one year.

If you are on the verge of failing, take action now. Speak to your teachers or guidance counselors to explore your options and get back on track.
