SPRING 2024 INTERSESSION

District educators will offer intensive support to elementary, middle and high school students during Spring Intersession, as well as a limited number of slots available to students interested in  programs for academic acceleration. 

    Students have been identified for Intersession based on academic need, unit recovery, and/or attendance/time recovery and encouraged to enroll.
