C.J. Donald Middle School

If your child is failing or in danger of failing you should have received a letter for summer school/grade recovery. On that letter was a QR code to scan to give you access to register your child. If you didn't sign them up, click the link below: https://forms.gle/81pa3QDwwV9H25fG7 Side note: If you child recovers their grade after you signed them up for summer school you will be notified they do not need to attend. If you don't hear from their teacher assume they must start June 3rd. If they are failing three or more core classes summer school is not an option. They will be retained. Please communicate with your child's teachers if you are unclear on their standing.
