Since ROC is a school like no other, you can bet that our Summer School provides an entirely different spin on your education. Yes you get a grade, and yes that means there are classroom lessons and assessments, but we also give you the opportunity to put those lessons to work firsthand in an exciting, interactive educational environment.
Below are our classes for incoming high school 9th through 12th graders and enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so (1) sign up here today! and (2) be sure to attend the first day or you'll be dropped. Class is daily from 7:30am to Noon. Here's how enrollment will work: all who sign up are welcome to the first day of class, if attendance exceeds capacity those who signed up earliest AND attended the first day will be enrolled in the class.
Regular KHSD summer school rules apply, including proper dress, attendance (dropped after 3 absences in 6 weeks), behavior, and attitude. No bus service -- students must provide their own transportation to and from ROC (and internship site as applicable). There is no school on Tuesday, July 4.
