Summer School 2025: The application for summer school 2025 will be available approximatley the end of April / beginning of May. Students who met with their counselors earlier this year and filled out a summer school interest form MUST still fill out this application. We currently are planning to offer in person recovery classes in Math 1 and 2, English 1. EVHS will offer a summer bridge class for our incoming freshman that will focus on English and Math skill building so that those students have a better chance of success once here at EV. We may be offering in person ELD classes, in person English 2 classes. Other classes needed to be recovered will be through a program called Edgenuity. Students who enroll in Edgenuity must still attend summer school in person. We may also be offering an enrichment Math 1 class to our incoming freshman.
Summer school dates for 2025 are from June 20-July 3rd for first semester and July 7 - 18 for second semester. Class is from 8:30 - 2:00. Attendance in summer school is crucial. Each summer school day is equivalent to approximately 9 days of regular school.
After a student applies for summer school, the summer school coordinator, Gabe Resendez, 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.
