Dear DPS Families,
We hope you are all well. We miss you! As this school year ends, we wanted to share information with you about summer school and how it will work this year. Right now, our plan is to offer summer school in much the same way that we have in the past. That has proved successful for our students recovering credits and graduating on time. Rather than coming every day Mondays-Thursdays, students will sign up for 2 different shifts to attend. This is an effort to keep classrooms to 10 or fewer, while still serving everyone who needs summer school. Registration for summer school will be done online through your Canvas Announcements. Cost for summer school will remain the same as it has been for the last several years. Here is the information you need:
DPS Summer School 2020
Dates: June 1 – July 16
Cost: $200 for whole credit courses; $150 for half credit courses (price reduction available for students who qualify)
Shifts available (students will choose 2)
Day | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday |
9:00 –11:00 | 9:00-11:00 | 9:00-11:00 | 9:00-11:00 | |
1:00-3:00 | 1:00-3:00 | 1:00-3:00 | 1:00-3:00 |
- For students who cannot come to any of these time slots, please call your counselor. We will work out a time for you to access your summer school teacher.
- The registration link for summer school will be available starting Tuesday, May 12. It will remain open through May 29. Again, that link will be in the announcements on Canvas. Classes will begin on June 1 and payment will be due that day.
- If you are interested in taking a course for initial credit, that option is available if there is room in the course.
- If you have any questions or need help with this process, please feel free to call your counselor or Summer School Director, Russ Southerland.

Estimadas familias de DPS:
Esperamos que todos estén bien. ¡Los extrañamos! Al finalizar este año escolar, queríamos compartir información con usted sobre la escuela de verano y cómo funcionará este año. En este momento,nuestro plan es ofrecer una escuela de verano de la misma manera que lo hemos hecho en el pasado. Eso ha resultado exitoso para nuestros estudiantes en recuperando créditos y graduándose a tiempo. En lugar de venir todos los días de lunes a jueves, los estudiantes se inscribirán en 2 turnos diferentes para asistir. Este es un esfuerzo para mantener los salones con 10 estudiantes o menos, mientras sirviendo todos los que necesitan escuela de verano. La inscripción para la escuela de verano se realizará en línea a través de sus anuncios en "Canvas." El costo de la escuela de verano seguirá siendo el mismo que en los últimos años. Aquí está la información que necesitara:
DPS Escuela de Verano 2020
Fechas: 1 de junio al 16 de julio
Costo: $200 para cursos de crédito completo; $ 150 por cursos de medio crédito (reducción de precio disponible para estudiantes que califican)
Horarios disponibles (los estudiantes elegirán 2)
Día | lunes | martes | miércoles | jueves |
9:00-11:00am | 9:00-11:00am | 9:00-11:00am | 9:00-11:00am | |
1:00 -3:00pm | 1:00-3:00pm | 1:00-3:00pm | 1:00-3:00pm |
Para los estudiantes que no pueden asistir durante estos horarios, por favor de llamar a sus consejeros. Trabajaremos contigo para que accedas a tu maestro de escuela de verano.
El enlace de inscripción para la escuela de verano estará disponible a partir del martes 12 de mayo. Estará abierto hasta el 29 de mayo. Nuevamente, ese enlace estará en los anuncios en "Canvas." Las clases comenzarán el 1 de junio y el pago será ese día.
Si está interesado en tomar un curso para obtener crédito inicial, esa opción está disponible si hay espacio en el curso.
Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita ayuda con este proceso, no dude en llamar a su consejero o el director de la escuela de verano, Russ Southerland.
