HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT COURSEWORK ATTENDANCE POLICY

 

                Summer school credit course work is meant to provide students with the opportunity to earn high school credits, yet summer school is an abbreviated time frame for these courses.  Therefore, we will adhere to an attendance and tardiness policy.  Students and parents will be asked to sign a contract, which will outline the attendance and tardiness policies.   

 

Please understand that the attendance and tardiness policies are to uphold the integrity of the high school graduation requirement and high school credits.  Please do not request summer school administrators to make special arrangements that differ from this policy.  Please arrange all family vacations and other needs around summer school. If there are questions regarding credit classes, please contact Mike Howard, 920-675-1210.

 

ENRICHMENT CLASSES

 

                Although we would like all students to attend enrichment classes on a regular basis, the attendance policy is more relaxed.  Please take into account that teachers prepare lessons for all students enrolled in their classes.  Students will not be dropped from enrichment classes based on attendance.  Please understand that refunds of fees or out-of-district tuition will not be reimbursed based on student absence in these classes.

CALLING STUDENTS IN ABSENT

 

                Once summer school is in session, our office is located in the Guidance Office of the high school.  Parents are requested to call the Summer School at 675-1126 if a student will be absent.  Please do not call the high school office.

LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS DURING CLASS TIME

 

                For liability reasons, students are not permitted to leave the high school campus during summer school hours, unless they are accompanied by staff to attend class in another location. (Some classes meet at the Middle School and West Elementary, as well as the nature classes off campus.) All registered students are required to remain on high school property unless they are leaving school to go home for the rest of the day.  Students will not be permitted to leave campus and return for classes.  Students who ride the bus must have a complete four hour schedule, with no gaps in their schedule.  If a student is in violation of this policy, and has received a warning about leaving campus, they will be removed from summer school for the remainder of summer school.
