Online summer school courses (Grades 7-12)

Online courses are offered through the Jeffco Extended Opportunity Program. Online courses allow students the flexibility to work, participate in activities, or even go on vacation during the summer. For each course, students must attend a face-to-face class session on Thursday, June 12 or Friday, June 13. After this initial session, students will access and work on their courses over the Internet. Students will work independently, turning in assignments daily and contacting their teachers via phone or e-mail during the seven-week session. Students are graded on the work they turn in, not on the time they spend. Students should expect to work at least two hours per day on each online course they take. All students will have a face-to-face final on Wednesday, July 30 or Thursday, July 31. For more information, including course offerings and our registration form, please visit the Jeffco Extended Opportunity Program Web site at http://www.jeop.org or call 303-982-8608.
