Hopefully your kid gets in. There isn’t always space. Will they tell you before summer? I thought you don’t find out classes until August. So that would be rotten if they didn’t tell you when you could have taken over summer. Hopefully they have an appropriate process in place to avoid that.

I have no idea since this is our first kid in high school, but kid hated virtual learning and would rather take it in person.

You can take health A at any time but there seemed to be rules on health B.

I've been told summer health A will be $300 and summer health B will also be $300.

My kid is class of 2025, and I just got an email from MCPS about this today, basically outlining their options for getting Health B in before graduation. It said they won’t charge Class of 2025 for summer health classes.

It didn’t say explicitly, but the implication seemed to be that the classes behind 2025 will have to pay for summer health. But it also said nobody has to pay for the online course during the school year.

Doesn’t sound like they’ll be offering in-person summer health, just online.

About 30%

If that were still case, I’d have DC push off PE to be the second semester to pair with each of those one semester classes in 10th and 11th. But sounds like that won’t be an issue anymore.

Most kids do PE in 9th, some do it later but get it over with. Summer for health ed.

Interesting as we didn't get one. Guess we are paying.

I would bump that up to at least 60%

The email is posted above. If your student is in the class of '25 and has not yet taken Health B, you should have received it

That email looked to me like it was differentiating been taking through MCPS (free) and taking through Montgomery college (maybe not always free?)

As I read it, the MCPS summer health classes this year will be free only for class of 2025.

MC’s DE course is free for MCPS students during the school year (as are all DE courses); but if you take DE classes in the summer you have to pay, regardless of graduation year.

The email said you were receiving it because you had a student graduating in 2025 who had not yet taken Health B.

MCPS is planning to charge for online summer classes? Where did you hear this?

I heard it from my child's guidance counselor.

Yes. They always charged pre pandemic.

Is the MC DE course the same?

My 2026 kid did horribly with virtual learning over Covid but preferred the virtual health class since it was less embarrassing. Had an excellent teacher.
