Richland One Summer School
This year our district will not charge students a fee to attend extended year/summer school programs when they begin the program. Summer school will run June 5-July 20, 2017. However, schools will be allowed to turn off access to Edgenuity and charge a fee ($50) to reinstate access for students who are not working and staying on track to complete assigned work.
Schools are asked to inform students and parents of the three (3) following points :
§ Students are not being charged a fee, but all student work must be completed by the set program deadline or the student’s access to Edgenuity will be turned off.
§ If a student has not completed the assigned work by the deadline, he/she will have to pay a $50 fee to be allowed access back to Edgenuity.
§ If the student does not complete the assigned work during extended/summer school, he/she will have to retake the course in the Fall.
