Summer school is for students needing to repeat a course that they previously failed; it is not for students wanting to take a course for the first time. Students will work at their own pace to complete the course using Apex Learning. Teachers will be present to monitor and assist students. Students should see their counselor for advisement on which course they should take to ensure they are taking the right course needed for promotion and graduation. There will be no fee for summer school. Transportation will not be provided. Dates: June 15th – July 2nd (no Friday classes). Graduating seniors must finish by June 30th. Time: 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Attendance: § A maximum of one (1) absence is allowed for all courses. Upon the second absence, the student will be dropped from the course with a grade of “F” and no credit will be earned. § Summer School begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and students are expected to arrive on time. THREE (3) tardies will be counted as ONE (1) absence. This absence will count toward the one-‐
absence limit. Materials Students should bring the following materials with them to class each day. § Notebook with blank paper § Pens and pencils § Calculator (for all math classes) Conduct Students are expected to adhere to all rules and policies outlined in the Northwood Student Handbook and the Chatham County Schools Code of Student Conduct. Grades Credit Recovery is for students who received a grade of 60-‐69 in a course and put forth effort to pass the course without success. Students will earn a grade of PASS or FAIL for the course and the grade will not be factored into the student’s GPA. The original record of the course being completed and failed will remain on the student’s transcript. It may be necessary for students to complete work from home. STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE ALL COURSE REQUIREMENTS BY THE LAST DAY OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION. A student who does not complete the course by the last day of the summer school session will receive a FAIL for that summer school course. Space is limited.
