Summer School
Summer School Coordinator: TBA
For now, please direct all questions regarding summer school to Mr. Johnson, the EVHS APED. johnsondan@esuhsd.org
However, please understand we usually do not know anything in terms of what we will be offering until around the end of March.
Summer School 2025: More information will be posted on this page when we actually know more, usually around the end of March. Below is what we offered in the summer of 2024 and we expect it will be similar, with the exception that Cyber High no longer exists and has been replaced with Edgenuity. We rarely are able to offer enrichment classes as summer school is mostly set up for credit recovery.
EVHS will offer teacher led classes for credit recovery for the following classes: English 1, Math 1, Math 2, and World History. We will also offer ELD teacher led classes. Cyber High will be used for credit recovery for Math 3, English 2, English 3, US History, and for any classes a non graduating senior needs to fulfill their graduation requirements. A few general elective classes will be offered through cyber high for students low on credits. No science or Foreign Language classes are offered in the summer. Cyber High is still done in person on the EV campus with the same hours as regular summer school.
Students who met with their counselors earlier this year and filled out a summer school interest form MUST still fill out this application.
Attendance in summer school is crucial. Each summer school day is equivalent to approximately 9 days of regular school.
The summer school coordinator, Dan Johnson, will be working with the counselors to place students into the proper summer school class. Class notifications will happen in early June.
EVHS MATH DEPARTMENT - SUMMER SCHOOL SUGGESTIONS:
As a department, we strongly advise against students taking any summer school math course to advance.
Over the years we have seen too many students who have taken math in summer school to advance a year perform poorly in their subsequent math classes. Oftentimes the poor performance does not show up until the high level courses of Math Analysis or Calculus.
The school year is 38 weeks long, while summer school classes are only 4 or 5 weeks. Taking a math course in summer does not allow students adequate time to learn, process, and retain the material and thought processes needed for success in future math courses. Only students who currently have an A in their math class and find it to be VERY EASY should consider taking summer math to advance. An A is not enough. All students who do take summer math should be prepared to seek extra help the following year.
Also, EVHS has no control over the curriculum offered, the teachers who teach the classes, nor the level of difficulty of the course. Summer school programs are not always aligned with the EVHS math curriculum and may not cover all the lessons that are need to advance.
