Riverside
Announces Dual-Enrollment Program
Riverside Jr.-Sr. High School is excited to announce the first semester of our
Dual-Enrollment Program. A Dual-Enrollment program allows high school students
to take college courses simultaneously with their high school schedule. This
program is funded by a grant through the PA Department of Education. The
goal is to allow students to discover the college experience and concurrently
develop a strong interest in furthering their education beyond high school.
Riverside is proud to be
partnered this year with Lackawanna College. Lackawanna College is offering
classes during their Spring 2010 Semester to Dual-Enrollment students. There are
academic requirements that must be met before a student can attend a
Dual-Enrollment class as well as a small fee. Students will not pay the full
price of a course at Lackawanna through this program. Classes will be after
school hours at Lackawanna College and transportation will be provided to and
from the campus for students who require it.
All 11th and 12th grade
students will learn more about the Dual-Enrollment program in an assembly on
December 11th. If you would like more information about this program and/or
think you would like your child to participate please call the Guidance Office
for more details. For 12th grade students contact Abbey Judge x121, for 11th
grade students contact Michelle Wolfsberger x123. A meeting for interested
parents and students will be announced after the new year at which time students
