Summer School 2017
Dates: June 13 to July 20, 2017 (see link below for a detailed instructional calendar)
Advancement Summer School
Applications for Advancement Summer School (to work ahead): The completed forms, with parent signature, are due back no later than February 17, 2017. This program serves GV/MHS/ECHS students together. UPDATE: the deadline to apply for advancement summer school has now passed.
Enrollment Confirmation
May 19, 2017: If you are already in high school and enrolled in the Advancement SS program being held at MHS, you should receive an email today from the summer school principal. Please check your school email if you applied for summer school. If you believe that there is a mistake of any sort, please see your counselor. If you are an 8th grader and applied for Advancement SS, you will receive notification in the mail next week.
June update: Your email should have instructed you to report either at 7:30-10:00 or at 10:30-1:00. This information is also posted at MHS, outside of room 107. You should report directly to the room number for your class/teacher. Chromebooks will be checked out on the first day of class. Students must attend the first two days, or will be dropped. Most coursework after that will be done online, though students may be required to attend on test days or if their grades drop.

Remediation Summer School
Applications for Remediation Summer School (to make up failures) are available throughout March and into April. Counselors will be contacting students who have classes to make up. Students will be asked to take the application home for a parent signature and return the signed application to the counselor no later than April 12, 2017 for priority registration. Applications will still be accepted after this date, but there is no guarantee late students will get in.
Students who have low grades for second semester 2016-17 (still in progress) are encouraged to see their counselor immediately, even after the April 12 deadline, to discuss possible summer school enrollment. Do not wait for counselors to discover the low grade, as final grades are not due until the end of the semester, which may be too late for summer school registration.
June 1 UPDATE! Students admitted to Remediation Summer School have been contacted by email and lists have been posted in the glass display case outside the SBO. Please check your school email and/or the glass case. Also, we have just been told that students who have been enrolled in Remediation Summer School will be contacted by phone in order to set up the first appointment to meet. This contact will come from Summer School staff, not GVHS staff. There will not be anything sent by mail.
Latest info! All students who got into the program will receive a phone call on June 12 with appointment times and room locations. If you don't receive a phone call, you are probably on a wait list; please contact the summer school directly for more information about that.
