5-8th grade Academic Summer School:
Academic Summer School invitations have been mailed home. Letters were sent to inform parents of students who have not met the academic expectations to be promoted to the next grade level. If you received a letter, your child is currently expected to register for academic summer school. Due to academic concerns that need to be remedied and failure to meet necessary expectations for promotion, your child is required to attend in-person summer school intervention for promotion consideration. Daily attendance and successful completion of all summer school assignments is mandatory. Upon completion of the Academic Summer School Program, your child will be promoted to the next grade-level.
6th and 7th grade students who have received 2+ F’s are required to attend the MJHS Academic Summer School program.
