SUMMER SCHOOL
Summer School is set up as an independent study program for those who wish to earn or recapture credits. Students will be assigned a teacher who will assist students with questions and tutoring they require.
Students who take summer school courses must be motivated, be able to comprehend what they read, and work independently. The work at SBHS Summer School is rigorous and takes self-discipline and motivation. The teachers are here to help you reach your goals; please feel free to ask questions at any time. What you get out of this experience depends on what you put into it. We have many unique opportunities and hope you will take advantage of them.
Classes Start May 28th and end June 27th. All course work must be completed by June 27th. Summer school hours are Monday work independently from home, Tuesday - Thursday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
For more information, click on the SBHS Summer School link below.
