Attendance, Behavior, Health & Safety Disclaimer
Attendance
Courses taught during the summer condense and concentrate the instructional content of courses offered during the regular school year, so attendance during the summer session is crucial. Excessive absences may be cause for students to be dropped from their Summer Opportunity Session and lose the ability to earn credit.
Behavior
Overt acts of misbehavior, behavior that interferes with the education of others or threatens the safety of students or teachers on the school grounds or in the classroom, will not be tolerated and may result in suspension or dismissal from summer school. Any day of suspension will be counted as a day of absence. All school rules, including appropriate school dress, smoking, drug, alcohol and cheating, will be enforced. Failure to abide by these rules may result in the student being removed from summer school and the denial of credit.
Health & Safety
Each day before coming to school or work, evaluate your own symptoms and take steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other illnesses. If you are sick with COVID-19 or think you might have COVID-19, help protect other people in your home and community.
National School Breakfast / Lunch Program - Summer School
All students are provided two meals per day. Breakfast and Lunch.
- Breakfast is served at all sites from 8:00AM - 8:30AM
- Lunch is served during Brunch period
Language from the USDA FNS states the following:
Schools should send the information letter to households very early in the school year, which begins July 1. Applications should also be distributed on July 1 or soon thereafter. Distributing applications early in the school year ensures households have sufficient time to complete and return the application prior to the first day of school. Additionally, schools are encouraged to provide families with information about the School Meal Programs in routine contacts throughout the school year, and remind families that applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. Information letters may not, however, be sent to households before the end of one school year for the subsequent year, nor can the LEA accept and process applications before the federally defined school year. (Note: Year-round schools may distribute the letters in June.)
