Summer school registration is here
While not the most envious of vacation plans, summer school will be unavoidable for some county students this year. At Warren County High School, the deadline for summer school registration is next Friday.
In addition to driver’s education, which has already been filled, the high school will be offering English I, English II and English III. The English courses are state mandated and must be passed to graduate.
Gateway intervention classes will also be offered during summer school. These classes are geared toward students who failed any of the end-of-course Gateway exams in the subjects of English II, algebra I or biology, but passed the corresponding course. Passing the Gateway exams is also required for graduation.
Though not mandatory, high school officials strongly encourage all affected students to take the free Gateway intervention classes, which will be tailored to each student’s needs and taught by a certified teacher. Of the students who took the invention classes last summer, all passed the make-up Gateway exam, high school curriculum principal Dr. Haskell Greer said.
Greer further noted any students planning on taking any of the Gateway exams again this summer, but not planning on taking the intervention classes, need to inform school system testing director Dianna Zadeh of their decisions by June 20. She can be reached at 668-4022, ext. 263.
While the Gateway intervention classes will be offered to affected students free of charge, high school principal James Bennett noted there will be a charge for the English classes, which will also be open to Boyd Christian School students, as well as out-of-county students, with priority given in that order.
The charge for Warren County students is $100 for the entire session. For all other students it is $150. All payments must be made in cash by the registration deadline.
Classes are contingent upon a minimum number students enrolling and the acquisition of a certified teacher.
Summer school will held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, June 16 through July 25. Registration and all classes will be held on the high school campus.
