General Information and Student Expectations:

  1. Students may only take ONE Summer School Credit Course.  This can be one full credit course, or two half credit courses (e.g. Civics, Careers).
  2. Access to Grade 9 courses is limited to those students who were enrolled in the same course in 2024-2025 with the WRDSB and were unsuccessful. This will support students who are not able to engage in credit recovery at their home school.
  3. The GLS1O (Reach Ahead) course will be available to WRDSB Grade 8 students.
  4. Students who have a high degree of self-motivation and the ability to work independently are best suited for eLearning courses.
  5. Regular attendance is critical for success at summer school. All full credit summer school courses involve a minimum of 110 hours of content and instruction. All in person classes will run daily from 8:30 am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday. Vacation or work should be scheduled outside of summer school hours.
  6. WRDSB reserves the right to cancel courses if there is insufficient enrolment or staff availability. Students will be notified by their home school counsellor if the course they registered for is cancelled.
  7. Registration is only available to WRDSB students that attended a WRDSB in the 2024-2025 school year.

Important Note:  for those considering the eLearn option – students are only able to access their Google accounts from within Canada. Students traveling internationally will not be able to access their Google accounts until their return to Canada.  Ability to access your course work through your Google account is necessary for successful completion of your eLearn credit.

 

Transportation Information:

  • Bussing will be provided for all of our Elementary and Secondary students.  However, please note that Summer School buses cover a large geographic area and parents/guardians will need to make arrangements to get their children to and from centralized bus stops. This is applicable in rural settings as well.
  • Summer School routes will be posted on the STSWR website in early June
