This is a message from PSHS, Parents, We are currently preparing for Summer School which is Credit Recovery & Enrichment for our high school students. Only core courses may be recovered this summer which include English, Math, Science and Social Studies. The criteria for students to participate in Credit Recovery this summer is as follows: • Students must have less than 20 unexcused absences for the semester, or • Students with more than 20 unexcused absences for the semester must have attended Learning Centers or Saturday Academy in an attempt to make up those days. If a student does not satisfy these requirements, they will not be allowed to participate in Credit Recovery. So, parents if you want your child to be eligible for summer school, they must be attending Learning Centers and Saturday School to make up any unexcused absence. In addition, a second graduation ceremony will not be held for the 2021-22 school year. If students do not fulfill their requirements prior to June 10, 2022, they will not have the opportunity to participate in a graduation ceremony but may receive their diploma at the end of summer school if they qualified to attend.
