Summer School registration is now open

LCS has a long history of offering Summer School opportunities to students from Lapeer Schools, as well as surrounding districts. All high school and middle school students, even those outside of Lapeer, are welcome to attend.

The High School program runs from July 7 through August 3, Monday through Friday, and includes 60 hours of instruction. There also is an online learning component that allows students to earn credit online and is self-paced. That program runs from July 7 through August 5, Monday through Friday. The Summer School program is housed at the beautiful Rolland-Warner Middle School, 333 DeMille Boulevard, Lapeer.

All core classes are available, as well as elective courses in Physical Education, Health, Michigan History, Consumer Skills and Technical Writing. All courses are taught by certified, highly qualified staff members.

Cost of the program is $150 per course (LCS students) and $175 for non-LCS students if they register by July 2, 2011. There is an additional charge of $10 per course if they register after July 2, 2011. For an LCS student, that is only $7.50 per day if they take one course, $15 per day if they take two courses, and $22.50 per day if they take the maximum three courses.

The all-new Middle School program runs from July 18 through July 29, Monday through Friday, and includes 30 hours of instruction. Students have an opportunity to remediate core content in grades 6, 7, and 8 before entering the next school year. The program is also housed at Rolland-Warner Middle School.

All core classes are available, including English, Math, Science and Social Studies. All courses are taught by certified, highly qualified staff members.

Cost of the program is $75 per course (LCS students) and $90 for non-LCS students if they register by July 7, 2011. There is an additional charge of $10 per course if they register after July 7, 2011. That is again only $7.50 per day for LCS students if they take one class and $15 per day for LCS students that take the maximum two courses.

All students in the Summer School program are offered Universal Free Breakfast and Lunch! This is an outstanding benefit, in addition to the valuable educational opportunities the program provides. We have worked with all facets of the District to offer an affordable, rewarding Summer School experience.
