Community High School District 155
Summer School
Community High School District 155 offers five different summer school programs including regular, remedial, special education, high school prep, and enrichment. You are encouraged to review these materials carefully before registering. Please understand that students must reside in District 155 to be eligible for enrollment in summer school. Also, instances may occur in which a course is not offered due to low enrollment.
With the exception of driver’s education and special education courses, all summer school courses will be held at Prairie Ridge High School located at 6000 Dvorak Drive in Crystal Lake, IL 60012. The main office number is (815) 479-0404. Driver’s education courses meet at the student’s home school during session one or at Crystal Lake Central for session two. Please see the driver’s education section of this packet for more information. All special education courses meet at Crystal Lake South High School.
Perhaps of the greatest interest, summer school also includes driver's education class. Unlike other course offerings, summer
school driver's education is taught as a four-week course (schedule and details below).
Regular, remedial, high school prep, and enrichment summer school courses will be offered exclusively at Prairie Ridge High School, with bus service provided to and from the student's home school. Students enrolled in driver's education will take classes at their home school. Special education courses will meet at Crystal Lake South High School. It is important to note that only District 155 students may enroll in the district's summer school program.
Class meeting dates and times vary by course. Please download the 2010 Summer School Packet here (PDF) for complete information about course offerings, schedules, transportation, and general information/rules.

Summer School Registration Information:
For all regular, remedial, high school prep, and enrichment courses, summer school registration information is available through the Guidance Department or as a PDF download here. For summer school special education courses, please contact the department chairperson at your student's home high school.
Priority will be given to those who register first. Registration begins on April 12, 2010 and deadlines are:
1st Semester -- May 7, 2010
2nd Semester -- June 18, 2010
Any student who plans to attend summer school should contact the Guidance Department at his/her home school and register as soon as possible. Guidance offices in all District 155 buildings are open every weekday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the school year, and from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Mon.-Thur.) and until 12:00 noon on Fridays during the summer. Please note: Some courses may not be offered due to insufficient enrollment.
Driver's education is offered in two, four-week sessions. The schedule for driver's education differs from the rest of summer school to meet state requirements for classroom and behind-the-wheel time. Students participate in only one of the two sessions. For session one, students will meet at their regular "home" school for both behind-the-wheel and classroom driver's ed. During session two, all classes and driving will take place at Crystal Lake Central High School. Summer school driver's ed consists of 90 minutes of classroom instruction every day and an additional 90 minutes of behind-the-wheel driving two days per week.
