credits for a timely graduation.
Eligibility:
Students must meet the following eligibility criteria:

semester of a math course. If a student fails an entire year of math the student must retake
the entire course the following school year.)
Courses are provided either via direct instruction, on the computer, or using various
workbooks. Courses that are not direct instruction are self-paced with each student working
independently with their written or on-line material. Teachers and aides are available upon
request to assist students individually during daily sessions.
Dates:
Wednesday, June 24th – Wednesday, July 22rd: No Summer School on July 3rd
Time:
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Short monitored breaks will be provided.
Students are advised to stay on site and not leave the grounds during breaks.
Attendance:
Direct instruction and middle/high school courses require daily attendance for the entire 4-weeks.
Students who are 20 minutes late are considered as absent. Students who are absent for more
than two days are subject to termination from the program with no refund of fees or credit
earned.
Independent courses require daily attendance until the student has completed his/her course and
has earned the credit. Once a student has completed and earned the credits needed they need
not attend anymore. Students who leave early in the day are considered absent. Students who
are 20 or minutes late are considered as absent.
Tardiness:
Students are expected to be on time for Summer School. Any student who is more than 20
minutes late is considered as absent.
Location:
Classes are assigned on the first day. Students should go directly to the IMC to receive their
class schedules and locations.
Cost:
Registration cost is dependent on the course(s) selected by the student. Consult the
Summer School sign-up sheet at the end of this packet for total cost of courses.
Behavior & Attire:
All district policies and school rules apply to Summer School. Students are expected to
conduct themselves in a respectful manner at all times on campus. Regardless of weather or
temperature student attire must be school appropriate. Students who do not report to
school in appropriate attire will be sent home and considered tardy/absent. If a student is
terminated for poor behavior, he/she will earn no credit (no fee refund) and will need to
retake the course(s) during the regular school year. In most cases, this could result in the
student not earning promotion to the next grade.
