ASD iSchool is again offering a limited number of summer options for 7th and 8th grade students who want to take an online class.

Current 7th graders who have a teacher recommendation may take Algebra Readiness to prepare them for Algebra I in the fall. Preference is given to pre-algebra students. Math 7 students will be accepted if space is available and by teacher recommendation.

Current 8th graders can choose from Algebra Readiness (with teacher recommendation), Astronomy, or Health Opportunities through PE.

These courses all have high school credit that will be posted to their transcript in Fall 2015. Registration forms and course information is posted on our website at http://www.asdk12.org/schools/asdischool/pages/coursesSummer2015.html.

Summer classes start June 8th and end July 17th.  See Algebra Readiness flyer for more specific information regarding that class. If you have other needs for classes not listed, please contact us to see if we can make it happen for your student.
