High School Summer School allows in-district students entering grades 9-12 to take courses for credit recovery, academic advancement, and/or accelerated learning. 

• Credit Recovery courses are taken by students who previously failed a course. However, these courses are not NCAA-approved. Credit Recovery students have already taken the course but did not receive credit for the course due to a failing grade or incomplete hours. Credit Recovery courses are marked with the designation CR. 

• Original Credit courses are taken by high school students to gain academic advancement and to earn credit for the first time.  They can also be taken by those who failed a course and want to earn an NCAA-approved credit for that class. Students taking an Accelerated Course may try to graduate early or take courses, so they have room during the year for electives or more challenging courses. Accelerated courses are marked with the designation ACC.

• STAAR/EOC (End-of-Course) Online courses are available to help students gain the necessary knowledge to pass a STAAR/End-of-Course, end-of-course assessment that they did not pass in either the 2023 – 2024 school year or the previous school year(s). These online courses are designed to meet the requirements of HB 1416 which was enacted in June 2024.  Students must complete the entire course and pass the exam with a 70% or higher to receive credit.   

• STAAR/End-of-Course Testing: Students who need to take a STAAR/EOC Test will test on June 17, 18 & 20, 2024, depending on the assessment the student needs. The link to register for the specific tests will be shared on this website as soon as it is available.

SUMMER HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM 2024 INFORMATION

Technology

All summer school students must have technology access every day per course while on campus at Richland High School. Students who have already checked out a 91ÖÆƬ³§ Chromebook will keep it for summer school.

Other High School Offerings:

College Math Prep Class

This summer, 91ÖÆƬ³§ will offer remediation for the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA2) for mathematics through our summer school program.  Your child qualifies to participate in the TSIA2 mathematics remediation because s/he took the College Preparatory Math Course this past school year and has not yet earned a passing score in the TSIA2 in the area of mathematics. 

The TSIA2 is used to determine readiness for college-level work.  Based on how a student scores in the assessment, the student may either enroll in a college-level math course and/or be placed on a developmental math course.  The purpose of the remediation is to allow students to work on identified areas for improvement with the support of a 91ÖÆƬ³§ teacher and retake the TSIA2 math assessment to achieve a passing score, allowing students to enroll in college-level math courses at TCC. 

The 91ÖÆƬ³§ TSIA2 remediation program runs from June 7th through June 30th, Monday to Thursday.  A 91ÖÆƬ³§ teacher will be available to students from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM every school day. Students will take the TSIA2 mathematics assessment again at Richland High School at the end of summer school.  There will be no cost for the student to take this course or the TSIA2 assessment.  This remediation course is only for students who were enrolled in the College Prep Math course during the 2023-2024 school year.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s campus counselor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log in and access my course?

Login using the Birdville Portal at  Your username and password for the Birdville Portal will be the same as you used to log in to a desktop computer in a lab at your school. If you have never logged onto the Birdville Portal, you will be asked to set 3 security questions before gaining access. These security questions allow you to reset your password without going through the Technology Help Desk.

What if my login does not work for the Birdville Portal?

You must go to the Richland High School library where staff will reset your password.  After your password has been reset, you will need to log on to a desktop computer in the library to change your password. A naming convention recommended for your password is:

FirstletterofhighschoolCAPITALIZEDhs8digitbday. For example, a student born on January 1, 2002, attending Richland High School would make their password: Rhs01012002

When is the computer lab open for summer school?

All high school virtual labs are open from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Monday-Thursday. The high school math lab is open until 1:00 PM. Lab hours are available for English, Science, Social Studies, and Math. If you are taking an elective course, you should contact your instructor to arrange a tutorial.

Are students required to attend lab hours during summer school?

Not every day! Students must come to campus to take - unit tests and final exams with a teacher. Lab hours are also available for students who need help with the content as well. Labs are open Monday–Thursday for ELA, Science, Social Studies, and electives from June 18 & 20, 2024. Math labs are open from June 18 & 20, 2024 PM Monday-Thursday.

What is the difference between the A and B in Credit Recovery and Accelerated courses?

The A in the course title indicates the course is for credit for the 1st Semester (Fall Semester). The B in the course title indicates the course is for credit for the 2nd Semester (Spring Semester). It is important to make sure that students are signed up for the semester/semesters they need credit for.

How do students take their required final tests?

Students are required to take all unit tests and final exams in a monitored lab. When a student needs to take a test, they will use the lab available for their content area, open Monday- Thursday from 8:00 AM -1:00 PM, to do so. 

What is the difference between Credit Recovery and Acceleration for Original Credit?

Students may be signed up for any combination of these 3 courses (credit recovery, EOC (End-of-Course) remediation, or acceleration for original credit). However, they all serve different purposes. A credit recovery course is taken by students who failed a course in the previous year. However, these courses are not NCAA-approved. Credit Recovery students have already taken the course but did not receive credit for the course due to a failing grade or incomplete hours. Credit Recovery courses are marked with the designation CR. An Accelerated course is taken by students to earn credit for the first time and also can be taken by those who failed a course and want to earn an NCAA-approved credit for that class. Students taking an Accelerated course may try to graduate early or take courses, so they have room during the year for electives or more challenging courses. Accelerated courses are marked with the designation ACC.

What supplies do my students need to bring to summer school?

All high school and middle school students must bring their Chromebooks to school every day. Middle school and high school students must wear their school ID each day.  All other supplies will be available at school for students.  

How do I pay for my child's online course(s)?

Payments can be made online. >
