Summer School 2026

Ash Grove High School is offering two sessions for 2026 Summer School.  Session 1 is May 26 -June 5  and Session 2 is June 8-19. Classes will meet Monday through Friday from 7:45am to 2:45pm.  Bus transportation will be available to and from the Bois D'Arc and Lawrence County (Lawrenceburg) areas.  Contact your school secretary for pick up/drop off time details.  High school students may earn 0.5 credit per session, and students who just completed their 8th grade year may enroll in summer school classes as a 9th grader and receive high school credit.  No credit is issued to any student taking the Jr. High Core Skills class.  Students are allowed only one absence per session of summer school.  

The school will serve a free breakfast and free lunch every day for every child.  We encourage all children to take advantage of this free program.  Breakfast will be served starting at 7:30am, and lunch will be served to junior high and high school students from 11:40am-12:00pm.  Meals for all grades will be served in the elementary cafeteria.

§ Junior High Core Skills (no credit) Sessions 1 & 2, incoming 7th and 8th grade students.  Students will work in all of the four core areas:  English, Math, Science, and Social Studies.  No high school credit is given for this course but it will help students to be better prepared for their upcoming year in junior high.  Students may attend one or both sessions.
