If students cannot attend each day for any reason please do not send to summer school. If attendance policy is not followed students will be dismissed from summer school. All school rules will be enforced. Students are expected to adhere to dress code. Some dress code issues are half shirts, biker shorts, pants with holes in thigh area, hats, hoods, shorts that are not finger-tip length, and pajama pants to name a few. Please make sure your student dresses appropriately each day. Any discipline issues will result in dismissal from summer school. This is a great opportunity for students to earn credits and stay on course for graduation. Students will be expected to behave and work the entire time. Breakfast and lunch will be served each day. If you have any questions about your child being eligible for summer school please contact your child’s guidance counselor. Buses will leave school around six to pick up students, so be ready.
