In an effort to support students and families, NLPS Summer School will provide some flexibility with regards to student instruction. Based on data from previous years, Summer School students are most successful when they attend in person each day. However, for some courses, a hybrid of independent learning at home and in person instruction will be possible. All courses are completed through modules or course packs of essential learning outcomes and with teacher support as needed in-person, or through an online communication tool like Google Meet, NLPS email, or phone
Some questions and answers to consider:
If I failed a course at my home high school and want to retake will I have to do the entire course again?
We will look at your marks and completed work from your regular High School to determine what outcomes you need to redo. It will vary from case to case but very likely you will not have to retake the entire course to pass the class.
How many courses can I take?
Students can earn up to 10 credits in Summer school.
It is recommended you only do 1 core, 5 credit class or
You can take multiple 3 credit courses if you wish.
For example: you could do a Calm 20/ Phys 10-3/ HCS3000 and Foundation of Industry 35 for a total of 10 credits.
If you are doing Work Experience you can earn up to 10 credits which would require 250 hours of work.
Do I have to attend everyday?
It is highly recommended to attend everyday and teachers will be on site from 9:00 am till 3:00 pm for support and instruction. The more you attend the more successful you could be. As long as you are following your timeline and successfully completing and passing the assignments, you have some freedom with your attendance to be determined through discussion with your teacher and work completion. If you are not completing work in a timely and effective manner then you will be required to attend every day.
