Summer School Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I receive a school issued computer?
All students are required to turn in their school issued computer. If you are taking a summer class, you can arrange with the help desk to have your computer returned to you during the summer session. Students must contact the Lower Dauphin help desk directly to make these arrangements (717-566-5392) OR email helpdesk@ldsd.org.
Will late applications be accepted?
No. Summer school applications will not be accepted after June 20, 2024. Advanced credit students can start between June 1 and June 9, 2024 - IF application is received by Friday, May 24, 2024, NO applications received after June 20, 2024 will be processed. This includes students who want to take a class for advanced credit.
How many classes can I take during the summer session?
It is recommended to take one or two classes during the summer session. Student success rate drops significantly when trying to complete 3 or more classes during the summer session.
Do I have to come in to school to work on my lessons?

Will I receive time AFTER the due date to work on my classes?

How much do the classes cost?
This information can be found in the cover letter that accompanied your summer school application. If the class is offered in condensed form (credit recovery) the cost is $200 per class.
If the class is not offered in condensed form (credit recovery) the cost is $150 per part. For example, if a class has four parts, the total cost would be $600 under this format.
