Euclid City Schools
Summer School 2020
INTRODUCTION
The
primary goal of the Euclid Secondary Summer School Program is to provide
students with the opportunity to earn remedial credit for courses in major
subject areas that students were not able to earn credit for during the regular
school year. We, at the Elementary and Secondary Summer School, will be doing
our utmost to help students reach their educational goals. We hope that students
and parents will cooperate with us in the achievement of those goals.
