Students interested in taking a summer school course this July (including co-op), please read!  NOTE – selecting either SUMSCH or SUMCOOP in MyBlueprint is NOT your registration for summer school – just your way to communicate to your guidance counsellor you plan to enroll in a course or co-op.  Registration will be a separate process in March/April.

SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES:

  • COURSE DATES – Tuesday, July 2nd to Friday, July 26th, 2024 inclusive
  • Summer school will offer both elearning (asynchronous only) and in-person options for courses this July.  See course offerings list posted here!
  • Grade 9 courses are only available for students who were unsuccessful in those credits during the 2023-2024 school year.
  • Students may only take ONE summer school course (or the 2 1/2 credit careers/civics courses).
  • Students will need to decide between either in-person or online options.
  • Regular attendance is CRITICAL for success at summer school.  Courses involve a minimum of 110 hours of content and instruction.  Failure to attend or engage regularly will likely result in a student’s removal from a course.
  • All work must be completed and submitted as instructed by the teacher.  Students (both in-person and e-learners) are expected to keep up with the course material, due dates and time commitments each week.
  • Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Students/caregivers will be notified by email if the course they registered for is cancelled.
  • Due to time commitments for summer school, students who have full time jobs or other major commitments (ex. camps, etc.) during July should avoid registering for courses.
  • VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!   WRDSB GEO-FENCING blocks students from accessing your WRDSB GSuite accounts should you be travelling outside of Canada during the summer school period – you would therefore unable to log into D2L/Brightspace for courses.  If you have travel plans during July, you should NOT register for a summer course.

SUMMER SCHOOL CO-OP:

  • If you plan to take a 2-credit co-op this summer, your guidance counsellor will need to arrange an appointment with you in the coming weeks to register (last day for registration – March 28th at noon).
  • ALL summer co-op students are required to attend all pre-employment/orientation days – see below.
    • ORIENTATION DAY – Sat. April 13th (virtual)
    • PRE-PLACEMENT DATES (SATURDAYS) – April 27 (@CHCI), May 11 (virtual), May 25 (@CHCI), June 1 (virtual), June 15 (virtual)
  • CO-OP SUMMER PLACEMENT DATES – Thurs. June 27 to Fri. July 26 inclusive
