Summer Academy sessions are of short duration; therefore, daily class attendance is required. Attendance is especially important in high school credit courses. See course description for additional attendance notes.
Due to the nature of the summer academy course covering an academic year worth of material, and the need for the students to be present each day, the summer academy attendance policy described below is strictly followed.
Students who accumulate two (2) absences will be withdrawn from the summer academy and issued a failing grade. An absence is obtained in the following ways:
-
Being absent from Summer Academy for any reason.
-
Leaving Summer Academy early for any length of time or reason.
-
Arriving late to Summer Academy after 8:45 a.m.
-
The accumulation of two (2) tardies is equivalent to one (1) absence.
Any combination totaling two (2) absences from the above list will result in the student being withdrawn from the course. The student will receive a failing grade and will not be eligible for a refund of summer school fees.
