• Summer Rising High School

  Dear PPA Families,

  Summer Rising High School is a chance for all high school students to make up previously failed courses, complete courses in progress, and participate in academic acceleration. Students will also be able to engage in important career readiness opportunities, like the Summer Youth Employment Program(Open external link).

  High school students will have access to academic and social emotional supports designed locally to meet the unique needs of older students. High schools will design programs that meet the needs of their school communities and are based on student feedback. Programs may be in-person or remote, depending on the subject area and community needs.

  High schools will reach out students in the coming weeks to discuss participation.  Students with 12-month IEPs will be contacted about participating in their IEP-recommended programs and about their learning preferences (remote or in person).

  For more information, please visit The Department of Education's Summer Rising Website (Open external link).

  Regards,

  PPA Admin
