SUMMER SCHOOL GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS & STUDENTS

PROMOTION

Students in Grades 1-8 who do not meet district promotion criteria must successfully complete the entire summer school program to be considered for promotion to the next grade. Please remember that the summer school curriculum for promotion is presented at an extremely intense pace in order to cover the state-required Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in a limited time period. ALL students enrolled in summer school courses for promotion will be expected to master at least 70% of the material presented. 

Students in Grades 1-5 whose annual course average was less than 60 must successfully complete summer school and complete a locally-developed grade level exam to be considered for promotion.
