When considering summer school courses, families are encouraged to be mindful of the accelerated pace and the potential for reduced support during the summer term. While students have access to their accommodations, case management and related services are only available to students who qualify for Extended School Year (ESY). Homework expectations vary by class, with typical courses requiring up to two hours daily. Teacher availability for additional help outside of class time may also be limited. Depending on availability, some tutoring support may be offered through the ILC tutors via Zoom. We recommend consulting with your SHS contact person to discuss any specific concerns or questions before registering for summer school.
Opportunities available within Special Education Programming: The following courses are available to those who meet the prerequisites for Special Education identification and the Director's approval.
Reading and Writing for SHS (IEN51S/IEN52S): One-semester course offered either semester. Students may register for both semesters. This survey course will familiarize and instruct special education students in the many reading and writing assignments they will encounter in their coursework at Stevenson. Units will include strategies to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary development, annotations, essay organization and writing, and study skills. Students will be required to complete a summer reading novel.
Preparing for Life: Essential Skills for Independence (IJOB2S): One-semester course offered second semester only. This course is designed to provide students (at their individualized level) with a variety of hands-on learning opportunities to help them acquire the necessary life skills to be as independent as possible. Students will practice life skills in the areas of cooking, gardening, budgeting, and self-care. Community-Based Instruction (CBI) opportunities are also provided to practice life skills at the grocery store, department store, and at various recreational facilities to connect them with individualized and appropriate transition activities.
