High School Summer School Program

Paterson Public Schools
2023 High School Summer School Program

Did your son or daughter receive a notice of eligibility for High School Summer School?

High school summer school courses are offered for students who need to recover credits for failed courses.  Daily attendance in the program is mandatory. The 2023 program will offer credit recovery opportunities in required courses in the following content areas:  ELA (English), MATH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION & HEALTH, ESL (English as a Second Language), WORLD LANGUAGE, SCIENCE & SOCIAL STUDIES as well as in other elective courses.   District-issued Chromebooks are required for participation. Students are expected to bring their devices daily.

Placement is dictated by confirmed need (failed classes), as well as seat availability.  Placement is only guaranteed for current Seniors/Grade 12 (Class of 2023). District students not able to be placed in Summer School will be guaranteed placement in the District’s “Credit Recovery Program,” which starts in the Fall.
