Course Offerings & Information

Registration Process, Payments & Deadlines

Summer school classes often have an enrollment cap. Enrollment is determined on a first-come basis. Priority will be given to those who are registered with the $50 non-refundable payment first. An MCHS staff member will be in contact only if there is an issue in regards to class enrollment. Also please understand that if a class has insufficient enrollment it may not run in the summer.

Attendance

Attendance is extremely important. In summer school, 18 weeks of material is covered in fifteen days. Subsequently, it is expected that students will be in attendance on a daily basis. Students must be present throughout the entire timeframe of the course. At a maximum, students can only miss TWO days, or have a total of three tardies to class. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in removal from summer school. Also, students will not be allowed to take the cumulative assessment early, making it essential to attend the last day of each session.

Tuition & Refunds

Summer school programs are self-supporting, the tuition fees must cover personnel and supply costs incurred in providing a specific class. Consequently, no refunds can be given once a class begins. Thus, a student is not eligible for a refund if they are dropped because of attendance, disciplinary reasons or family circumstances.
