What are the eligibility requirements?
Summer school is available to all current grade 7 and 8 students. All students MUST have their Principal support their application.
Summer school is highly recommended for grade 7 and 8 students who are currently working atgrade level and achieving a level 2 or below (40-65%) in subjects such as English and/or mathematics.
Why choose grade 7 and 8 summer school?
- Summer school is an opportunity for students to improve their skills and potential academic achievement.
- Summer school gives students who are not successful in their studies a second chance for success without setting back their academic program.
- Summer school provides many opportunities for students to apply skills in a practical and fun-filled manner.
Is lunch provided?
Students are expected to bring a lunch, snacks, and drinks to summer school.
What are the attendance expectations?
- A student will be removed from, and fail to receive an evaluation for, any course in which he or she has been absent for any reason for more than two days in their 2-week program.
- If a student is late by more than 15 minutes four times, it will count as one day absent unless the school Principal has been contacted.
What materials are required?
On the first day of class, a $25 deposit must be submitted for the use of resources (i.e. textbook). The deposit will be refunded upon the return of the loaned materials at the end of the program. Cheques can be made out to the PVNC. All supplies and textbooks are loaned to students for the duration of summer school only. The deposit will only be cashed if books are lost or damaged.
Is bus transportation provided?
Rural transportation will be available from local pickup points. Contact StudentTransportation Services of Central Ontario (STSCO) at (705) 748-5500 or 1-800-757-0307, or visit the website.
Since public transit is available within each of the host school's urban areas (i.e. City of Peterborough, City of Kawartha Lakes, Bowmanville, and Cobourg) transportation is not provided to students residing in those areas and is the family's responsibility.
Is there a dress code?
Students are expected to dress appropriately for summer learning. If a student is inappropriately dressed, they will be sent home to change. Uniforms are not required. Note: Each school site is air conditioned.
When are reports sent out?
Students' reports will be mailed in August. Reports will be sent to home schools in September. For Grade 8 students, reports will be sent to the secondary school.
