High School Summer Learning

High School Summer School 2020 General Information

• All course work will be completed online and students are required to communicate virtually with their instructor.

• It is important that students log on that day, if they are in the first session, to make sure they are able to access the class or classes that they are enrolled in. If they are unable to do so, they will need to contact LAUNCH at enroll@fueledbylaunch.com or (417)-523-0417

• If a student does not log onto their class within the first two days of a session, they will be automatically dropped from that class. It is also important to note that if a student does not finish a credit attainment course, (examples include Health and Personal Finance), they will receive a F on their high school transcript.

• Personal Finance (must have Sophomore Standing) and Health will be offered for Credit Attainment. Students must be registered by May 15.

• Students must register for Credit Recovery coursework by May 22. Credit recovery for core coursework in Science, Math, Social Studies and ELA will be offered.

• Session 1 will run June 3 - June 30, Session 2 will run July 6 - 31

• Students may earn up to 1 credit and may enroll in either semester. There will be no extensions. Students must complete coursework by the last day of the semester.

• Students will receive a “Pass” or “Fail” grade for credit recovery courses. Pass/Fail grades are not averaged into a student’s cumulative grade point average. Students taking credit attainment courses will receive the letter grade that they earn through the Launch program.

• Do Parents/Guardians have access to their student’s account? Yes. If a student is falling behind in his/her coursework, the Launch teacher will be making contact with the parent and student. Parents will also have a parent observer account.

• Will there be a teacher? Yes. Each course will be taught by a certified teacher in the state of Missouri. Some of the teachers will be Fort Zumwalt teachers. Teachers will hold regular office hours (3 hours each day) and are required to respond to student questions and requests in no longer than one business day.

• Can I take two high school courses during the same session? High School students can take two courses during the same session? However, students should be cautioned that several hours of work will be required per day. If a student is not prepared to devote a considerable amount of time per day to a course, the student should consider taking one course per session. Remember, there are no extensions! All course work must be completed by the last day of the session for which you register.

• I have an IEP or 504 Plan and need special accommodations. How will this work? The registration paperwork will ask if you have an IEP or 504. This information will be shared with your teacher so that they can make the appropriate accommodations.

• After I am enrolled, how will I access my coursework? Enrollment confirmations are sent to the email address provided by Launch (Springfield Public Schools). The confirmation will include student login and parent observer account information.

• What kind of technical support is available for a Launch course? Students have 7 days a week technical support through support@fueledbylaunch.com.

Tech support is available 7 days a week through support@fueledbylaunch.com.
