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.

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

I heard it from my child's guidance counselor.

Is there a precedent for this?

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.

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

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

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.
