Most subjects taught at St. Rita during the regular school year are taught in Summer School if there is a formative group of students needing the subject. All underclassmen must make up their failures at St. Rita during Summer School. In the event that there is not a formative group of students needing a particular subject, the school reserves the right to recommend and approve another school where that particular failure may be corrected. Students who fail a course in their senior year generally do not attend Summer School at St. Rita. Alternative summer school sites will be recommended and approved by the Administration.
All students are reminded that any and all failed classes must be remediated.
Parents will be contacted (via mail) as soon as final grades are posted to let you know if your son will be required to attend Summer School. Attendance at Summer School is determined by semester grades only.
There are two Summer School sessions. The first session for 2012 begins June 18th and concludes June 29th. The second session begins July 9th and concludes July 20th. The last day for Summer School registration is Thursday, June 14th.
It cannot be presumed that a student who fails a class in the first semester will attend the first session of Summer School. This same fact applies to a student who fails a class in the second semester. Students are placed in Summer School classes by the director of the Summer School in a way that accommodates each student’s need as much as possible. It is important that every student remains on track for graduation. Students cannot decide themselves which session they wish to attend. Unfortunately, summer vacations and other summer activities must be scheduled around Summer School.
Summer School classes are 3 hours in length. The morning class begins at 8:00 am and ends at 11:00 am. The afternoon class begins at 11:30 am and ends at 2:30 pm. A student can generally make up a maximum of four classes during Summer School.
The Dining Hall is closed during the summer. Therefore if a student is here for the entire day he must bring a lunch with him to eat during the break. Also, there is no school provided transportation during the summer.
The fee for each class is $225.00 plus the cost of any books that may be required for Summer School classes.
Some of the Summer School classes use the same book that the students used during the regular course of the year while some of the other Summer School courses require a book that must be purchased at registration. Books purchased at registration will be distributed on the first day of class. It is important that students do not sell their textbooks until they know whether or not they will need them for any summer courses. State books should be returned to the teacher at the end of the regular school year as usual; they may be reissued during the summer if necessary.
