Health B will not be offered online and it will not be offered in person. Way to go MCPS.

My daughter has a friend in Howard County who has already signed up for Health 2, online summer class. I don't know if Health 2 = Health B, but if it does, them it is MCPS screwing it up, not MSDE. Summer school registration in HC has already closed - MCPS hasn't even started......

Or, here - it clearly says they will not offer B onliine

REGISTRATION FOR THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAM OPENS APRIL 12 at 12PM.

Overview

The 2023 Central High School Summer Program (CHSSP) has a range of blended (synchronous and asynchronous) offerings, including core courses, Career Technology Education, Health Education, World Language, and Fine Arts. Students can take a course for grade replacement, grade improvement, or in some instances, original credit. Please note that students taking summer courses to replace a failing grade, or planning to graduate in the summer of 2023, will take precedence over students who have already earned credit in the courses for which they register.

CHSSP consists of two sessions:

Session 1: June 28 - July 18 (no school July 4)
Session 2: July 20 - August 9

Actual MSDE is behind.

MSDE should change the requirement so '25 does not have to deal with this nonsense!

+1 How the heck can they make it a requirement when they don't even have the curriculum. Seriously?

They have in-person curriculum. MSDE’s schedule for the online curriculum has always been for summer 2024.

This is the 3rd or 4th thread on this in the past few months. It time to get over it. There is no online Health B summer 2023. The state isn’t going to change the requirement. Move on.

So, they already have the in-person curriculum? Considering our recent experience with covid and virtual learning, one would think while developing the curriculum they would take into consideration - side by side - having to deliver it online as well? Just wondering ...

So why isn’t it being offered in person? It’s not at my kids school.

It's up to each high school to determine whether they are able to offer it in person over the summer.

Did MCPS actually announce that Health B is available this summer in person? Any links?

Thanks!

It is not being offered in person or online in Montgomery county. I saw it on their website.

And they can’t/won’t even say for certain when it will be available in summer school or virtually. My IB diploma-track sophomore is still in limbo, both schedule-wise and summer job-wise, with regard to their next two years.

Mine too. The thought of squeezing this class in and then having to take another arts class to balance the year is infuriating. Health/ceramics or econA/econB. I even emailed msde a few months ago and they indicated it would be available in person this summer, but no guarantees for online option.

If they want Econ why can't they take Econ A and Health?

It’s a full year class.

Yes. I believe that changed starting last year. My current 9th grader was able to take it last summer.

Individual high schools are able to offer Health B as part of their local program. They need to share info with the community right after spring break.
