Summer School is an opportunity for current students to take classes for enjoyment and enrichment. It also gives students a chance to experience success in courses in which they have not done well in the past. Please look over the course offerings and choose one per semester that interests you. Students may earn ½ credit upon successful completion of the semester.
Credit recovery classes will be offered through Edgenuity, which is an online platform that we currently use at District 227. Classes offered in this format will be self-paced and predominately independent. Students taking a Edgenuity course will have access to support within the online platform.
A District 227 facilitator will also be available to assist students with issues that they are experiencing. A teacher will monitor student progress in the course and keep students on track to complete the course within the allotted time. All students will need access to technology.
Tuition Per Semester
Summer School 2022 will be offered free to all district residents. Out of district student fees will be $200.00 per semester. All courses must be chosen at the point of registration and will be approved by your school counselor. Registration will be held online at
