Is the online summer Health class autonomous or live?

When does registration open for next summer? I have and 8th grader that wants to do the same so they can take other electives.
Why take it after 8th? Why not just take it after 9th and 10th? Is there any advantage to this?
Used to be you could not take it after 8th...dI'd it change?
I looked for that language on the website for the most recent summer school. I think it changed when they expanded the offerings to cover most core courses and started allowing original credit and not just repeats.
What also changed is that it went from being a half year req course to a full year requirement

Seriously
Really? What school are you at? I didn’t know non-seniors could get responses now on non-emergency matters.

You can take it after 8, before 9. You do it as the class sucks and to get it over with. Not worth giving up another class or elective for it.
You sign up in the spring. If you google it on the mcps website last years should be there.

It felt late -- maybe March or April? Bookmark this page and check it every couple weeks for dates & registration info: https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/extendedhours/summerschool/

Health B is a new requirement for the class of 2025. Last summer, it was not yet phased in. As they are offering it online during the school year this year, it is likely it will be offered during summer school.

FYI they said at one of the budget meetings that for summer school 2024 they would be returning to the pre-pandemic policy of charging fees for summer school classes.

Usually announced closer to the end of the school year, after spring break. Registration is through Synergy.
Yes, last year it was in April.

There is MS health and then there's HS Health. Two different classes.

Kids can’t work yet. Gives two summers where you can take required credits like health, tech, art and get them done to take more interesting courses in HS school, or do early college/dual enrollment, or work, or graduate early.
