All summer courses will have limited enrollment. Once the enrollment limit has been reached, a waiting list will be formed. Summer education courses are only open to incoming/current JPIIHS students.
The JPII Re-Enrollment Fee must be paid before students can be registered for summer school courses at JPII.
Computer science earns GPA points at JPII and is required for graduation. Computer Science is the only option offered in summer school that has TWO semesters.

How does it work?
Near the end of May, Mr. Schram will email all of the students who are taking the Online Computer Science 1 Summer School class. This email will include a Google Classroom code. Once you join the class, you will have access to various materials including the ZOOM link.
NOTE: If you are new to JPIIHS, you will first need to obtain a @jpiicardinals.org email before you can join Google Classroom. Contact Kris Thurston or John Haley at the Tech Desk.
The first day of class is Monday, June 3rd from 9:00am – 12 noon. This class is mandatory as it is during this meeting that we will download all necessary materials, install all necessary software and set up everything that is necessary for you to function in this class. Mr. Schram will also demonstrate the procedure for turning in work for this class. Students can attend this class in person in room 2313 (recommended). If this is not possible, students can also attend via ZOOM. An alternate day and time for the first class is available. This is Friday, May 31st from 2:00 – 5:00pm. This class can also be attended in person (recommended) or via ZOOM. This earlier meeting is recommended for any student who wishes to get an early start, especially if he/she wishes to get credit for Computer Science 1 – HONORS.
The vast majority of the curriculum (Lectures and Lab Explanations) will be provided by videos in Google Classroom. Optional ZOOM meetings will be available for students to ask questions about the material and to get one-on-one help with their labs. Students will be working on their own, at home, at their own pace; however, students must make sure they finish all Semester 1 work by Friday, June 21st and must make sure they finish all Semester 2 work by Wednesday, July 31st. There is a 2 week break (June 24th – July 8th) between semesters. Students can use this time to catch up if they are behind on Semester 1 work or to get ahead on Semester 2 work. Students who work at a faster pace can finish the class early.
