Coweta County Summer School for high school students will register students on June 4 through June 6 at the Central Educational Center in Newnan.

Summer school courses will be offered June 6 through June 28 at CEC. Course offerings are dependent on student enrollment and on teacher availability.

Students wishing to enroll in summer school should visit their school counselor’s office for permission, and must submit the registration forms and payments to the Central Educational Center on June 4 and June 5 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the CEC lobby, or on June 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the CEC lobby.

Payment must be made by cash, cashier check, or money order only, and payment in full is required on the day of registration.

Registration packets are available from high school counselors. There will be no early registration at students’ base schools. More information on summer school offerings can be found at Coweta County High School counseling offices, and by calling Kristy Childers at 770-254-2810 or Allen Rhinehart at 770-254-2870.

Summer school courses are regular high school courses offered in one month of day-long classes, earning students up to one Carnegie Unit of credit toward graduation, depending on the course. Classes will meet each weekday (Monday-Friday), 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Fridays. All course offerings are depending on student enrollment. Transportation is not provided.

The courses are tuition-based. 2007 tuition for Coweta County Students is $400 per unit, and $200 for driver’s education.

Tuition for out-of-county Students will be $650 per unit, and $350 for driver’s education.

A school counselor’s signature is required for summer school class. Most summer school courses are for remediation only (course previously attempted, but not passed). However, a course may be taken in a situation where a student was unable to schedule a required class for promotion or where a transfer student to our schools needs a specific course for promotion. Out-of-county students must also provide an official transcript at registration that reflects any courses that are to be re-taken.

Driver’s education and Spanish 2 are the only courses offered which are not for remediation only.

Because the courses award full high school credit, daily attendance at the June classes are required. Should there be an emergency absence the time must be made up during the summer course. Limited make-up sessions will be held on Friday afternoons only. If a student accumulates late time to class for morning tardiness, that time also must be made up.

Classes offered during summer school are dependent upon student demand. The probable course offerings include 9th Grade Literature/Composition*, 10th Grade Literature/Composition, 11th Grade Literature/Composition*, 12th Grade Literature/Composition, Concepts of Problem Solving, Concepts of Algebra*, Algebra 1*, Algebra 2, Euclidean Geometry*, Informal Geometry*, Physical Science*, Biology*, Chemistry, Earth Science, Civics, Economics*, World History, US History*, Spanish 2, Driver Education. (* these courses require the state end of course test which counts for 15 percent of the student’s final grade).

The Central Educational Center is located at 160 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive in Newnan. For directions, call 678-423-2000.
