District Contacts for Summer SchoolCourses & RegistrationThe following school districts are pleased to offer courses to students who are in need of creditrecovery, or would like to maintain their skills over the summer break. All courses are offered onlineand are open to students in all districts. Some courses may require students to meet face-to face forassessment. Please see the individual course description to determine if this is a requirement of thecourse. Courses listed are for the purpose of credit-recovery, skill-maintenance, or both. Creditrecovery courses are NOT an equal replacement for taking a course during the school year. This meansthat in order to be eligible for a credit recovery course, a student must have first taken the course andfailed it during the regular school year. For students who are taking courses for credit recovery pleasehave your local guidance counselor confirm that the course meets the district’s requirements forcredit. Please do not call the district that is offering the course to see if that course will be acceptedfor credit by your local district. Only your local guidance counselor or principal can make thatdecision. To register for summer school courses, or to obtain more information, please contact thedistrict liaison listed below. To register your child, please visit the district web site from which youwould like to take the course. Depending on the number and type of courses you are taking, you mayneed to register on several district sites.Belle Vernon Area School DistrictBurrell School DistrictCourse Cost: 125 (Make checks payable toBelle Vernon Area School District)Registration Deadline: June 18, 2013Mandatory Orientation: June 19, 2013Classes Begin: June 24, 2013Classes End:July 26, 2013Computer Lab Hours: TBDDistrict Liaison: Mr. John GricePhone: 724 808-2500 x3500Mail Registration Checks To:Belle Vernon Area School DistrictC/O Mr. John Grice500 Perry AveBelle Vernon, PA 15012REGISTER FOR BELLE VERNON COURSES ONTHEIR WEBSITE: http://bellevernonarea.netCourse Cost: 125Registration Deadline: June 17, 2013Mandatory Orientation: June 24, 2013Parents will be emailed specific times fororientation.Classes Begin: June 24, 2013Classes End: July 26, 2013Computer Lab Hours: TBDDistrict Liaison: Ken PruittPhone: 724 334-1443Mail Registration Checks To:Burrell School District Summer SchoolC/O Debbie Acre1021 Puckety Church RoadLower Burrell, PA 15068REGISTER FOR BURRELL COURSES ON THEIRWEBSITE: http://burrell.wiu.k12.pa.us
