                                                                  Summer School and Grading Scale

The WJUSD summer school program is designed to give students an additional opportunity to remediate units of World History.

  •  Students initially cover all World History standards in their regular class. 

  •  Following the Academic Support Class, non-remediated units are offered during summer school. 

  • Students who fail to meet proficiency in an Advanced World History or European History A.P. course may take summer school to complete their units, but they will not receive credit for completion of Advanced World History or European History A.P., instead they will receive credit for World History.

  • The summer school World History class will now be an extension of the regular semester. The amount of work a student needs to complete will be based on his/her final semester grade.  

  • Failing students receive no course credit until their summer school work is complete; their initial grades will be recorded as follows:
