Summer school numbers up 12% - Carla Roccapriore, RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL

Summer school course enrollment is up 12 percent this year in Washoe County after two previous years of decline.... Among new programs this summer is Washoe Online Learning for the Future, also known as WOLF. High school students making up lost credits or wanting to get ahead can sign up for online courses, which cost the same as traditional summer school and require guidance counselor approval. Middle-school students can make up a lost semester of eighth-grade language arts or math through WOLF. Creveling said 390 WOLF courses are being taken and that total is kept separately from traditional summer school courses. “Demand was so great I had to close WOLF June 1 because our funds that subsidize WOLF were gone,” Creveling said. Communication with WOLF instructors is available 24 hours a day and can be done by phone, e-mail or in a designated private chat room. Students must take their tests in person at the Regional Technical Institute.
