High and Middle
School Programs: Summer 2011
Schalmont's secondary summer school program offers
students the opportunity to retake courses which they were not
able to successfully complete during the regular school year.
Participating students may also retake a course to improve upon
an existing passing grade. Our seasoned, professional faculty
provide a positive learning environment to help encourage
students' success in all courses.
Registration for all 2011 summer school
classes was held on June 29, from
9 a.m. to noon for residents and from noon to 1 p.m. for
non-residents in the Schalmont High School library.

must earn a minimum final course average of

more detailed information.
