When a student withdraws during the first three days of Summer School from LMSD Online Health and MVP Online Courses, no record will be made on the student's transcript. After that, if a student withdraws during the first three weeks of a Summer School course, one of the following notations will be made on the student's transcript for that course:

1. "WP" for Withdrew/Passing
2. "WF" for Withdrew/Failing

When a student withdraws after the first three weeks an "F" for Failure will be recorded on the transcript.

Students may have access to their computers over the course of summer school if they are enrolled in an online option through MVP on the LMSD Online Summer School Health. They must notify their tech support person at their school of their enrollment in summer school.

Students taking the online Biology course must keep their school issued laptop for the summer school course and bring it to the Keystone exam on Tuesday, July 28, 2026.

All student computers will need to be returned to their home school on or before Tuesday, August 4, 2026.

If you fail to return the laptop by this date, you may not be eligible to receive your laptop for the early distribution rollout.

There will be MVP/LMSD Online Summer School Health Course Orientation at LM and HHS during the school day (Lunch and Learn) in early June for current high school students. Students who have enrolled in an MVP or in the LMSD Online Summer School Health course are invited to attend. If you are unable to attend or are a current 8^th grader, there will be a link to the online orientation.

MVP COURSE FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

In addition to completing the online registration form through the LMSD website, an online registration and payment for credit recovery courses must also be completed through MVP's website. Online credit recovery courses will be taken at the college prep level.

Successful completion of a summer school course carries the same credit as may be earned during the regular school year.

The designation for MVP courses taken for advanced credit will be identified on the student transcript as an online honors level course, and the letter grade will be reported; however, the grade will not be calculated in the student’s GPA and will have no impact on the grade weighting.

All High School credit recovery (CR) courses will be offered at the college prep level.

MVP courses do NOT count toward GPA.

There are no extensions to the July 30, 2026 deadline.

Students enrolled in Biology with MVP will be REQUIRED to take the Biology Keystone on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. Students who cannot attend may NOT enroll in Biology for summer school. Testing will take place at Lower Merion High School at 8am on July 28, 2026. Students should keep their school issued laptop and must bring their school issued laptop to the test.

The MVP online course experience is fully asynchronous for instruction. All instruction is pre-recorded. Students may access the content 24-7. While there are instructors with office hours, the expectation is that students can access the content independently. Additionally, the instructors are NOT LMSD teachers. They are teachers hired through the MCIU. Students should feel comfortable embarking on a fully asynchronous experience with no engagement during class with peers or the instructor.

Students should expect to spend approximately 4-5 hours per day, 5 days per week, for the six weeks on the MVP course work for a year long class. Since this is an average, your child may need to spend more or less time to complete the course work.

• AL=Accelerated Learning
• CR = Credit Recovery (all CR course credits are at College Prep level)

**Math 8 is a course intended for students who can access the math learning via an asynchronous model and work independently for the most part to complete the work. Math 8 includes the opportunity for students to access a LMSD math teacher online to receive additional support. This opportunity is not mandatory, and students may complete all of the work online without accessing any available support. The person is only available for 1 hour a week for all students; thus, it is essential that the student be able to access the material independently and interface with an asynchronous teaching model for new material. Face to face opportunities for support may exist but are not guaranteed.
