POULSBO — Students seeking credit retrieval, extra help on the WASL, drivers’ education or a little catchup before the next school year will have those opportunities as the North Kitsap School District will be offering four types of summer school education in 2006.
General education programs — remedial, credit retrieval or skills mastery — for elementary (K-6) and secondary (7-12) students will begin July 10 while Traffic Safety Education for students ages 15 or older will begin June 22.
Extended School Year programs for special education children will be held in conjunction with the elementary and secondary summer school programs.
Secondary summer school will meet for two-hour sessions each day from 8-10 a.m., or 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday for 20 days. Students enrolled in both sessions will not be allowed to leave campus in between.
Summer school for grades 7-8 is designed strictly for remedial work or skills mastery and students must have taken the class prior to summer school to enroll.
Summer school for grades 9-12 is designed for credit retrieval, new credit or skills mastery. To enroll in credit retrieval courses, students must have taken the class prior to summer school. New credit options are available only through school counselor approval.
Summer school class offerings can be found at the NKSD Web site, www.nksd.wednet.edu, under the summer school section.
In addition to the class roster this year, the class of 2008 will be offered WASL help classes in reading, writing and math at no cost.

Elementary summer school days will be Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Students will rotate half way through the day between math/science and reading/writing sessions.
