Important Details about Summer School
Summer school is available on a limited basis, with priority given first to seniors that need credit to
graduate, juniors that need credit to be promoted, and sophomores that need credit to be promoted.
Other factors for consideration are course availability and the student's ability to work independently on
the assigned computer program (Nova Net). Students are under the direct supervision of a Sanderson
teacher. There is no cost for Summer School. A very limited number of seats are available.
Summer school consists of two sessions; a morning session (8:00-11:30 AM) or an afternoon session (12:00-3:30 PM) that will run five days a week (Monday through Friday). Students do not get a preference regarding which session they are assigned, so it is important that their schedule remain flexible. Students complete credit for core classes (no electives offered). Summer school may be taken for repeat credit only (no original credit).Please note that transportation to/from school is not provided; students will need to arrange their own regular and reliable transportation.
Attendance is critical. Students who miss more than two class sessions (excused or unexcused reasons) will be dropped from the class and receive a "WF" (withdraw failing) on their high school transcript. A WF is included in the calculation for a student's GPA, or grade point average.
Please note that a grade earned in summer school does not replace the previous "F" earned. The previous course with final grade and the new course with final grade both appear on the transcript and both grades are included in the calculation of the student's overall GPA (grade point average).

Other Credit Recovery Opportunities
Students may seek an opportunity to complete credit recovery through NCVPS, an independent, online
program of study offered by the state of North Carolina. Students interested in opportunities for credit
recovery through NCVPS or other programs should contact their assigned school counselor. Please note
that this program does not run on the same school calendar as SHS.
Students approved for participation in any credit recovery opportunity must complete the program once enrolled. Students who do not complete the course by the stated deadline will receive a final grade of "F" in the course. Students who choose not to finish the course will receive a "WF" (Withdraw Failing) in the course.
Please note that a grade earned through credit recovery does not replace the previous "F" earned. The previous course with final grade and the new course with final grade both appear on the transcript. Passing scores in credit recovery courses are generally issued a final grade of "P". The "P" is added to the student’s transcript to indicate the credit has been earned. A "P" has no affect on the student’s GPA (grade point average).
Sanderson High School does not promote, nor endorse any paid credit programs. Students and parents interested in other credit recovery programs are welcome to contact the Student Services office with that program information.
