Summer and Online Learning Procedures and Information

• Remedial Summer Courses: Students who achieve 40-49% in a course required for graduation must take a remedial course in Summer School. A remedial course is designed to top-up one's learning and fill any gaps in understanding. Remedial courses are offered through SD 43. If your teacher has recommended that you take a remedial course for summer school, please email your GLA in Student Services to set up an appointment. Recommendations for summer school will be made through the April report card in an IE form, and again in May as confirmation.  

• Summer Learning Course Retakes: Students who achieve under 40% in a course required for graduation must retake the course. This can be done through summer school, or online through any accredited BC school. If your teacher has recommended that you retake a course in summer school or online, please email your GLA in Student Services to set up an appointment. Recommendations for summer school will be made through the April report card in an IE form, and again in May as confirmation.
