Summer school classes in the district have been moved online in response to the COVID-19 outbreak that has left campus’ closed. To help parents and students learn more about summer classes and the enrollment process, the district is hosting informational webinars on Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“Secondary summer school was already mostly online with in-person exams and computer labs available for face-to-face support,” a brief from Frisco ISD read. “Now the final exams and projects will be turned in online, and teachers will offer virtual office hours and meetings to students”

Classes for high school students will cost $225 per semester course with registration due June 4.

“Although it remains unclear what guidelines or precautions would be necessary during the months of June and July, online instruction is the best way to ensure student safety while maintaining these summer programs,” the brief read. “High school students may take courses for advancement or credit recovery.”
