about the Summer School registration time period and process.
3. Encourage students to meet with their counselors to discuss A-G
requirements and program needs.

students who have failed or received a D in a core subject(s).
 5. Follow-up with students about parent notification/application letters prior
to June 18, 2010.
6. Program students in the appropriate credit recovery course(s) to avoid
changes in July.

summer school norms.

Classification Reports” including AT74 and CL76 by teacher within
department (R-2) during the pre-planning period.
