CCSD In Person Summer School for Credit Recovery is for students who received a D or F in the equivalent class taken during the school year. Students who received an A, B, or C during the regular school year are NOT eligible to repeat the class in summer school to improve their grades. (Students seeking credit advancement/progression should refer to the online course information.) The in-person Hybrid Health and Hybrid PE classes will be available for any student needing credit recovery or credit progression.
In-person, summer school classes are available as a credit recovery program to students who received a D or F in the equivalent class taken during the school year. Students who earned a D in a class are eligible to take a summer school course that is equivalent to the course in which they received a D. The grade they receive in summer school will replace their initial grade, regardless of whether the summer school grade is higher or lower. The grade earned during summer school will be reflected on their transcript and be calculated into their GPA.
Students who receive an F in a class are eligible to take a summer school course that is equivalent to the course in which they received an F. Students may take a summer school class to retrieve .50 of a credit, provided that they receive a summer school grade that is higher than an F. The grade earned during summer school will be reflected on their transcript and be calculated into their GPA.

- There are no excused absences in summer school.
- Any student arriving ten minutes after each session has begun will be assessed a tardy. There are no “excused” tardies in summer school, and three tardies equals one day of absence.
- If a student accrues more than two absences, they will be automatically withdrawn from Summer School on the third absence. No refund or course credit will be granted.
- Summer school classes are equivalent to semester classes compressed into 60 hours.
- Online quarter classes are compressed into 30 hours.
- Attendance for Online Classes will not be taken.
Please Note: If your student is on hold status with the Cherry Creek School District for any reason (Change-of-Address Needed, Renewal of Co-Residency or Temporary Guardianship, etc.), then the hold status needs to be cleared with District Admissions prior to the start of summer school classes. The link to the District Admissions webpage can be found at the following link: https://www.cherrycrekschools.org/domain/1145.

CP ALGEBRA I
The content of Algebra 1 deepens and extends students’ understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and identifying and exploring the underlying mathematical structures that they share. Students explore many examples of functions, including sequences, and analyze them graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Students apply linear models to data and analyze how well the models fit the data. Additionally, students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and applying quadratic functions.
-
3SSAL1CPS1 (Semester 1): Equations and Inequalities, Numeric Expressions, Algebraic Expressions, Exploring Quadratic Functions in Context
-
3SSAL1CPS2 (Semester 2): Structure of Quadratic Functions, Modeling with Quadratic Functions, Linear and Exponential Functions, Statistics
-
-
CP ALGEBRA II
CP ALGEBRA II
Students in CP Algebra 2 develop a deeper understanding of all aspects of functions: graphing, analyzing, transforming, performing, operations with, composing new functions, and solving equations using them. Functions studied include linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, trigonometric, and radical. Students further develop their statistical knowledge by studying the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, and the connections to probability. Throughout the year students strengthen their use of the common core standard math practices, with a particular emphasis on making sense of problems and modeling with mathematics.
-
3SSAL2CPS (Semester 1): Functions with unrestricted domains: polynomial functions – key features of graphs (end behavior, relative min/max, intervals where increasing/decreasing, etc.); zeros/ factors relationship (including Remainder Theorem and synthetic division of polynomials); geometric series; function operations (including the composition of functions); transformations on functions; inverse functions; complex numbers
-
3SSAL2CPS2 (Semester 2): Functions with restricted domains: rational functions, radical functions, exponential functions and logarithms, trigonometry, statistics

CP GEOMETRY
CP Geometry formalizes and extends students’ geometric experiences from the middle grades. Students will develop geometric concepts using an inductive and algebraic approach. Students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments and proof. In this course, rigid and non-rigid transformations are the frame through which students build and prove the concepts of congruence and similarity. Previous experience with proportional reasoning and the Pythagorean Theorem leads students to understand the trigonometry of right triangles in order to find unknown measures in general triangles. The geometry of 2 and 3-dimensional figures is the focus, including work and analysis on the coordinate plane.
-
3SSGEOCPS1 (Semester 1): Structure of Geometry, constructions, triangle congruence proofs (CCSD Unit 1, Unit 2, sections 1-2)
-
3SSGEOCPS2 (Semester 2): Similarity, right triangle trigonometry, circles, polygons (CCSD Unit 2, sections 3-4, Unit 3, Unit 4)
