Students are limited to one 5-credit course or two 3-credit courses, and are encouraged to enroll in a course they feel is an area of strength. The online platform and short timeline of summer school can present further challenges to learning.
Grade 9 students planning to take Physical Education 10 or CALM are advised to complete both courses, as they are each 9-day courses. Many Division high schools schedule these courses together and there may be limited opportunities to register in either course separately during the regular school year. If a student only does one through summer school, they will need to pick up the other during the regular school year.
Grade 9 students registering in core courses are advised to choose a subject where they feel confident and have demonstrated past success. Metro will be reviewing all registrations to ensure students are in a course that will offer a pathway to success.
To complete a summer school course, students will require internet access and access to a computer (laptop, Chromebook or desktop) with a working microphone and camera (either built-in or external). Tablets and cell phones are not recommended as they cannot support the programs students are required to use.
Students will be required to engage in video conferencing with their teacher and classmates, as well as complete assignments, projects and assessments through their computer.
If you currently attend a high school, please speak with your school site about borrowing technology. If you are not currently attending a high school, please contact Metro to discuss these possibilities.
