SUMMER SCHOOL: For first time VAPA (Visual & Performing Arts) Credit. One year of Visual & Performing Arts Credit is required to graduate. 

Students can meet with their current counselor at WSMS to get support in registering for the following:

• Method: online school contracted with MVUSD. The available course is Graphic Design & Illustration. They will work independently from home and will need to transfer their grade to MVUSD after completed. This will cover their one year of Visual & Performing Arts credit needed for graduation.
• MVHS: Students can take an in-person VAPA (course TBD) class at Murrieta Valley High School. This will cover their one year of Visual & Performing Arts credit needed for graduation.

Students that could benefit from taking a summer course would be students trying to squeeze two electives or programs into their 9^th grade schedule. For example, if they’re wanting to take AVID or Leadership next year, they would need to push their VAPA or World Language class to 10^th grade. This would take care of the VAPA class and allow for more options in 10^th-12^th grade.
