Summer School Rules and Regulations

ATTENDANCE:
Each day teachers will cover over a week of material that would be taught during the regular
school year.  Therefore daily attendance is required.  Any student who misses more than 2 days per semester course
(1 day for Driver’s Education), will NOT receive credit for that semester course.   PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. 
EXAM DAYS:
ALL STUDENTS MUST BE IN ATTENDANCE ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH SEMESTER TO TAKE
THE  FINAL  EXAM.  (STUDENTS  WILL  NOT  BE  PERMITTED  TO  TAKE  THE  EXAM  EARLY.)
STUDENTS  SHOULD  BE  AWARE  THAT  THE  “CUTTING”  OF  A  CLASS  ON  EXAM  DAYS  MAY
RESULT IN THE FAILING OF THAT CLASS FOR THE SEMESTER.  
TARDINESS TO CLASS:
All students are to be in their classrooms when the period begins at 7:45 a.m.  A student who is tardy to class 5 times
will be dropped from class.  After 15 minutes late to class a student is considered absent.
STUDY:
Summer school courses cover a great deal of material in a short time; consequently, students must study both during
the school day and outside of school time. Books are to be taken home each day. No corridor lockers are to be used.
GRADES:
Students who are  taking courses  for credit will receive  the same  type of grades as given during  the regular school
year.

Students are not to leave the school building unless they are leaving the school grounds for the day.   Students must
notify the summer school office before leaving the building.

Any  student who  drives  to  school must  observe  all  driving  regulations  and  all  safety  regulations.   Permission  to
drive a car to school may be revoked at any time in the interest of safety and attendance.

All bicycles must be left in the bike racks in front of the building. Be sure to lock your bike. No skateboards are to
be on school grounds. Roller blades may not be worn in the school building.                            
GUIDANCE:
During the summer, guidance will be available for any student who needs assistance with classes.
