FAQs

1. We are going on vacation and will miss several days of the semester. Can we still sign up?

Each day of summer school is the equivalent of one week of class during the school year. As such, attendance is crucial. Typically, it is not advisable to take a summer school class during a time when the student cannot attend. However, if only missing one or two days, it may be that work can be done online during a student's absence. Talk with the teacher of the course or the Summer School Principal to see if this is possible.

2. My student's middle school does not get out of school until after District 127 summer school starts. Can we still sign up?

Though we try hard to avoid it, there may be an overlap between the end of middle school and the start of summer school for first semester classes. Students in this predicament will need to complete work during the days they miss. Teachers will be asked to post work on Schoology or to send through email what work must be completed. Contact the Summer School Principal, Rob Nicoletti at (847)986-3100 x5752 or rnicoletti@d127.org to get the name and contact information of the classroom teacher.

3. My student has athletic camps during the time of summer school. Can we still sign up?

Talk with the athletic director and/or coach to find out what the overlap will be and if there is flexibility in camp attendance.

4. We qualify for Free and Reduced lunch benefits during the school year; does it apply to summer school?
