Summer Opportunities for High School Students

Students interested in registering for summer credit advancement classes (classes students are taking for first-time credit) can submit their course requests during the 2024-2025 school year registration process. 

Credit Recovery - Credit Recovery courses are designed for students who have taken and previously failed the course in a previous semester. All credit recovery courses will be offered in-person at Parkway South High School.  Credit Recovery courses are invite only and course requests cannot be submitted in IC during the course registration process.  In the spring, students will be invited to attend based on a review of their transcript.  The following Credit Recovery courses will be offered:

English - English 1, English 2, English 3

Mathematics - Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 

Science - Biology 1, Biology 2, Matter and Change

Social Studies - Modern US History, US & World History, World History, Government

There will be 3 sessions for in-person Credit Recovery courses.  Students will enroll in one course per session and can take up to three sessions.  Each course will be worth 0.5 credits.  Session dates and times are as follows:

• • Session 1 - June 10-21 - No School 6/19 - 7:30-11:30 a.m.
  • Session 2 - June 24-July 5 - No School 7/4 - 7:30-11:30 a.m.
  • Session 3 - July 8-19 - No School 7/19 - 7:30-11:30 a.m.

Transportation to Parkway South High School will be provided via shuttle buses from each Parkway elementary school.

Credit Advancement - Credit Advancement courses are designed for students who are taking the course for first-time credit. If a student has taken the course and previously failed, they are allowed to register for a Credit Advancement course to re-attempt the credit. All credit advancement courses will be offered virtually in an asynchronous manner, meaning that students will learn on their own schedule within a certain time frame (typically one week). Students will access and complete lectures, readings, homework, assignments, and other learning materials by instructor-defined deadlines. Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours per week completing work for credit advancement courses. 

Virtual Summer School classes will be held from June 10-July 19. There will be a mandatory, synchronous class meeting at the beginning of the summer term. In addition, students may be asked to attend other meetings based on their performance in the class.

• Students requesting Missouri Course Access (MOCAP) courses must do so within the district enrollment period, which ends 2 days after the start of each term, which is June 12, 2024. Students requesting a course after the enrollment period will result in a denial of the request since it does not align with enrollment windows for all students. This denial is regardless of whether or not the vendor states they can accommodate your child.
