Summer School

COEUR d’ALENE - If you don’t get good grades, you’ll have to go to summer school. That’s no idle threat for public middle school students in Coeur d’Alene.

The district expanded its summer school offering this year for seventh- and eighth-grade students, largely in response to a new state mandate that Idaho middle schoolers have to meet credit requirements before moving on to their next grade.

“It’s a full credit retrieval-type program for middle school,” said Lake City High School and summer school director, Deanne Clifford.

The eight-week summer school/middle school held at Fernan Elementary ends Monday. There were 38 students who attended and studied math, science, language arts or history. The school was funded through a grant. Maureen Donlan, Cda Press Read more.
