Online Courses Offered in Summer School

All class content is completed remotely and students work independently without live, scheduled class meetings. You can arrange to meet with your class teacher remotely if you have questions or need help. You will complete work mostly at your own pace but will be contacted if you're not on track with completing the class before the session deadline.

Grading is based on computer-graded quizzes, tests, and teacher-graded material.

Students may resubmit assignments to improve their grades if they miss key concepts.

Please contact your school counselor to make sure you select the correct classes.

Students will be contacted through their PSD Email with instructions for starting a class. Please make sure you can access your PSD Email.

Students may complete multiple classes in this session. Students should:

  • Register for their first online class. Register for Physical Education first if you plan to take this course.
  • When the student's class is 80% finished with a passing grade, contact Bianca Katz, bkatz@psdschools.org, with 

    student name, ID#, and name and semester of the next class

  • Students should allow at least 2 weeks to complete a class (3 weeks for PE). There are no extensions.

These are NOT Block courses. Each class is 5 credits. To earn 10 credits in a subject area you must sign up for Semester 1 (A) and Semester 2 (B). Remember, you can only work on one class at a time.

All classes close at 3:00 PM with no extensions. Students are encouraged to submit all material two days before the deadline to leave time for corrections.
