Summer School

NKSD is committed to helping students get back on track academically by providing a free credit recovery option. This allows students who may have fallen behind to catch up without the financial burden often associated with additional coursework. The credit recovery portion of the summer program runs from July 8, 2024, to August 9, 2024. Students will have access to courses in core subjects such as English, History, Science, Math, and PE/Health.

The credit recovery curriculum is delivered online through Fuel Education, enabling students to work at their own pace, either from home or within the supportive environment of Classroom 500 at North Kitsap High School. This classroom will be open from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, and staffed by a summer school teacher to provide assistance and direction.

For students looking to advance their studies or explore new subjects, NKSD offers initial credit courses for a fee of $250.00 per semester course. This program covers a range of subjects from May 7, 2024, to August 9, 2024. Detailed course lists are available through school counselors, ensuring students can plan their summer learning according to their academic goals and interests.

Similar to credit recovery, initial credit courses are conducted online, providing students with flexibility. Classroom 500 will also be available for these students to utilize as a study space with available instructional support.

Enrollment for both credit recovery and initial credit courses opens on May 7, 2024. The process for credit recovery involves filling out an application listing only the classes the student has failed; the summer school staff will then enroll students in the necessary courses. The deadline for these applications is June 14, 2024.

For initial credit, students must complete the application online, print it, and obtain signatures from a parent or guardian and a school counselor. These applications must be submitted to the counseling center of the student’s respective school by June 17, 2024. Payment for these courses are due at the High School ASB window.

The NKSD Summer School Program has a limited number of seats available. Priority will be given to upper-level students, and then it will descend through the grades. Once a student completes their course, and if additional seats become available, those on the waitlist will be offered spots. This ensures that as many students as possible can benefit from this summer educational opportunity.

The NKSD Summer School Program is carefully structured to ensure that students have every opportunity to succeed in their summer studies. To facilitate this, there are several critical dates and requirements that participants and their families must be aware of:

Enrollment Deadlines:

• Credit Recovery Course Registration: Opens on May 7, 2024, and applications must be submitted by June 14, 2024. To register, students need to fill out an application listing only the classes they have failed.
• Initial Credit Course Enrollment: Also begins on May 7, 2024. Students must complete the application online, print it, and have it signed by a parent or guardian and a school counselor. The signed applications are due in the counseling center of the student’s respective school by June 17, 2024.

Course Payments:

• Initial Credit Courses: The fee is $250.00 per semester course. Payments must be made at the High School ASB window after the application has been approved and before the course start date.

Mandatory Orientation and Instructional Meetings:

• First Meeting: All students enrolled in the summer school must attend an orientation meeting on July 8th or 9th at Classroom 500 in North Kitsap High School. This meeting is crucial as it includes:

• Regular attendance at the classroom is particularly advised for those who may need additional guidance or who thrive in a structured learning environment.

Course Completion and Seat Availability:

• As students complete their courses, seats may become available for those on the waitlist. This is especially important as priority seating is given first to seniors, then juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, in that order.
• The school will make every effort to accommodate as many students as possible, but availability cannot be guaranteed, emphasizing the importance of meeting all stated deadlines and requirements.

End of Program:

• The last day of the summer school session is August 9, 2024. All coursework must be completed by this date to earn credit for the summer term.
