Are you looking to catch up, stay engaged, or get ahead on your credits?

WVS Courses can meet your Summer School needs...

• The course fee is $290 for HS and MS courses, and $190 for Credit Recovery (half-credit semester courses). Students are given 20 weeks to complete their course(s).  
• Many schools want to follow a “typical summer school schedule” and allow students a specific 6-8 week summer session for their online courses. With enrollments accepted through June 30, you can “design” the right number of weeks and dates you want for YOUR summer program. PLEASE NOTE: Health and Personal Wellness and Fitness Fundamentals courses require a minimum of 12 weeks of fitness/health journals/logs.
• It is very important that a Coach/Mentor be available to act as a liaison between the student and the WVS teacher during the summer.
• It is strongly recommended that students enroll in no more than ONE semester course during the summer.  Past experience has shown that students who are given a course completion end date similar to the local summer school session are more likely to finish the online course.  Due to the rigor of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, they are not recommended for summer session. 
   

On February 25, 2015, District Administrators received a letter from DPI clarifying changes on offering online courses in the summer.

"If online course offerings are provided on-site by DPI-licensed teachers, districts may count instructional minutes (see next item) provided through eligible online courses for resident students for state aid and revenue limit purposes.  Starting in 2014, certain online courses no longer require resident students to be on-site if specific eligibility criteria are met.  Online classes must comply with all other state summer school requirements (e.g., fees, partnerships, academic courses, etc.) to be eligible to count students for membership. The school district must document and retain records used in the calculation of the instructional minutes generated for each class that is included for the DPI Pupil Count Summer School report."

This change makes it easy for school districts to offer more options for students to make up credits or accelerate their learning paths. Students can choose from High school and Middle school core and elective courses, as well as High School Credit Recovery courses.
