Summer School

2023 CPS Online Summer School Information

• Dates:  Summer School runs from Thursday, June 1 - Wednesday, June 28;
• Where to find your course: Students should see their courses among their other courses in Schoology starting Tuesday, May 30th (Which is, yes, earlier than "official"/in-seat summer school.  We do this to help any students with other demands during June...e.g. the Tetons Trip);
• Informational ZOOM Meetings:  We will be holding OPTIONAL informational ZOOM meetings for anyone interested in learning how CPS Online summer school courses work.  This is a basic introduction, ideal for first-time summer school parents.  The same information will be shared at these meetings (i.e. attend ONE). The ZOOM links will be emailed directly to families signed up for one/more CPS Online summer school courses.

• Students can work on coursework anywhere that is convenient to them (i.e. do not need to report to school to work on their course);
• In most--but not all--online courses, due dates are intended to act as a "pacing guide"--there is typically no penalty for late work.  Some do have hard and fast due dates. HOWEVER students are strongly encouraged to keep up with their assignments!

• Reliable, Internet access must be available on a daily basis at home or another location in order to access the course content.  Ask your building's Media Specialist about the "CPS Wireless@ Home" program if reliable internet access is an issue for you;
