Schalmont Central School District offers a variety of academic and non-academic programs during the summer. Click on the links below for more information on learning opportunities that can help your child stay active, both mentally and physically, while on vacation.


High and Middle School Programs: Summer 2010

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 2010 summer school classes was held on June 30, from 8 a.m. to noon for residents and from noon to 1 p.m. for non-residents in the Schalmont High School library. Click here to learn more about a specific school's summer offerings.

All students who wish to enroll in summer school must earn a minimum final course average of a 50. School transcripts will also include more detailed information. Click here for more details on the revised policies.
