Summer School 2024

Ash Grove High School is offering two sessions for the 2024 Summer School, May 28-June 7  and June 10-21. Classes will meet from 8:00am to 3:05pm.  Enrollment application and bus transportation pickup/dropoff times for the district are listed below.

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 earning high school credit 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 7:40am – 7:55am, 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.
