Fort Frye High School

This is a reminder that the deadline to sign up for summer school is this Friday. Some parents of students received a letter indicating that their son/daughter are currently failing or has failed a core class (Math, English, Science, or Social Studies). With High School Credits, any course failed, must be retaken to earn the needed credit. Unless the course is recovered during the summer, those students will be placed in the same grade level and course that was failed when scheduling for next school year. This may put them off track for graduation and could also limit options in their plans and schedules. It is highly recommended that any student that failed a High School class attend Summer School. Summer School is completed completely online, using the PEAK Platform and can be completed at the students and families most convenient days and times. Stephanie Marshall will be facilitating Summer School this year and she will be available via Google Meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am or via email. The Summer School cost is $100 for the first half credit and $50 for any remaining half credit. Payment must be received before enrollment can be completed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stephanie Marshall via phone at 740-984-2376 ext. 1220 or email at stephanie.marshall@fortfrye.org.
