ACADEMIC RECOVERY SUMMER SCHOOL

Sanderson will host academic recovery this summer in-person/on campus ONLY. There is no cost to families for summer school. Sanderson will offer students the opportunity to continue their academic studies for courses in which credit was not earned.  These courses would include those that did not receive a passing S1 and /or S2 grade. Students will be able to complete work through GradPoint to recover credit in a variety of classes and receive a “P” for passing on the transcript for S1 and/or S2. To support students through this work, Sanderson will have teachers available to provide assistance to students in completing their work. If a student is interested in continuing to work during the summer using GradPoint to recover his/her grade, the student should complete the Summer School Interest Form.
