Due to the intense and compacted nature of summer school, we have extremely high expectations for
student performance and minimal flexibility relative to attendance and tardiness. Throughout summer school,
the behavior of all students must be consistent with the policies set forth in the Greenfield High School
Student Handbook. If not, the student could be sent home and one day of absence will be recorded. Serious
disruption of the learning environment, such as fighting or directing profanity at a staff person, will result in
immediate dismissal from summer school. We want all students to be successful and learn to their optimal
abilities, thus, our learning environment must remain respectful. Excused and unexcused absences are treated
the same. If a student misses a day of school due to illness, vacation, lack of transportation, or any other
reason, one day of absence will be recorded for the student. It is important to be on time every day. A tardy
will count as one-half (½) day of absence. Any combination of more than two absences will result in the
student being dropped from class with a failing grade and no credit earned.
Your signature below indicates that the student and parent understand the expectations of summer
school, and also agree to the consequences of not following the aforementioned expectations. We want all
students to have a successful summer, earn the credits they are attempting, and get closer to the goal of
graduation.
