I thought I heard that only health and tech would be offered virtually this summer and that they are making all other credit recovery opportunities in person

The dates don't match up with the weekdays... Or is the idea that session 1 will be July 7 - 21 excluding July 10 and 17 (which are Fri), then July 22 will be the break between sessions 1 and 2, then the session 2 will exclude July 24 and 31?

Checking again, looks like it's the latter...


Correct. The latter.

OP here - thanks for the feedback - looks like it has changed for sure - thanks for the reassurance - Health B may need to be taken in school again after all.

Last summer was 8 zooms every other day over 3 weeks for 1.25 hrs each totaling 10 hrs synchronous instruction.

They did offer additional courses like photography (fine arts) and I think other subjects that do not appear to be offered this year.

Virtual used to be 8 sessions of 75 minutes each, spread out with 2 or 3 each week. It’s now 9 sessions of 90 minutes each, Monday-Thursday. They are also only doing health, tech, and comp sci virtual, and everything else is in-person only, with the same number of sessions, but in-person is 8 AM to 2:30 PM each day. So it is a big change.

Is there no Spanish offered over the summer, virtual or in person? Didn't there used to be?
