The basic premise of the summer school Apex Learning online program is to assist students in acquiring high school credits. The summer school program serves as an option for some students who, for various reasons, fail to pass courses. Another purpose of the program is to provide classes for some students who are not able to take the courses during the regular school year. The students are responsible for their success in the program. There is no cost to students for the Apex program. Students will use their school-issued Chromebooks to complete their Apex summer school courses. Parents/guardians are responsible for transportation to and from summer school. (NOTE: Students will be instructed to turn in their school Chromebooks when semester 2 classes are concluded for the 23-24 school year. Chromebooks will be returned to summer school participants at summer school orientation on June 13 or the first day of class on June 17.)
The Apex summer school program will run in-person in RAHS classroom 243 (with Ms. Kristin Gesteland in her classroom) and/or classroom 244 (with Mr. David Moon in Mrs. Theresa Carey's classroom) on the following dates:
