Summer School Program
Our Summer School program will run from 8:30-12:30, Monday through Thursday, for four weeks:
- Week 1: June 20-23
- Week 2: June 27-20
- Week 3: July 11-14
- Week 4: July 18-21
All students enrolled in our summer program are expected to meet the following behavioral expectations:
- Keep your hands to yourself.
- Treat other people the way you want to be treated.
- Comply with staff and give your best effort.
All students will sign a behavior contract, agreeing to comply with the rules of our program. We will work on a “3 strikes” rule for the summer program. You will be notified if your child receives a strike. On the 3rd strike, he/she will be exempted from the program and subject to retention/placement for the 2022-23 school year.
Daily attendance throughout the program is expected. Students have one unexcused absence during the four weeks of the program. Additional absences could result in removal from the program and retention/placement in the 2022-23 school year.
Based on your child’s attendance/performance during summer school, one of the following outcomes will be decided by the principal and communicated to you before school begins in August:
- Promotion = successful attendance/completion of the summer program
- Placement = placed in next grade on probation due to unsuccessful completion of the summer program (attendance/performance/behavior); ineligible for fall/winter sports and rostered into one or more support class(es)
- Retention = retained in same grade due to unsuccessful completion of the summer program (attendance/performance/behavior); ineligible for sports and rostered into one or more support class(es)
Breakfast and lunch will be served to each student. Computers will be assigned to each student, but must remain at school each night.
A Google Meet for any parent/guardian with questions about Summer School will be held on Thursday, June 16th at 4pm. To get the code for the Google Meet, please check your Parent Backpack account or contact the school at the information provided below.
We look forward to providing additional support for your child this summer!
