Summer School Rules/
Dismissal Policy

Student participation in summer school is not required in the same way it is during the regular school year. If behavior and attendance rules are broken during the summer term, the summer school principal can dismiss a student from summer school. If a student violates summer school and classroom rules and must be removed from the classroom, the parent/guardian will be contacted. In the case of a second violation of the rules, a student will be dismissed from the rest of the summer school program.

Every attempt should be made to attend each time the class is in session. To get the most out of the summer session, your student should have perfect attendance.
