General Info
Attendance
Due to the concentrated nature of summer school, regular attendance is crucial. More than one unexcused absence may lead to withdrawal from the course with no refund.
Course Availability
Courses listed in this booklet will be offered if a sufficient number of students sign up for the course. Since summer school courses must be financially self-supporting, at least 14 students must be enrolled in each course. Decisions regarding the cancellation of a class will be made by May 24, 2021. Enrollment will be allowed until the start of class, if the course is running and space permits.
Chromebooks
Students without a Chromebook will be issued their District 127 Chromebook at the beginning of summer school.
Discipline
During summer school, all school rules apply as outlined in the Student Handbook. Students are subject to disciplinary action and removal from the summer school program (without a refund) for inappropriate behavior. The dress code is also in effect for summer school. Students in violation of the dress code may be sent home for the day if alternative clothing is not available.
Equal Educational Opportunity
All persons who legally reside within Grayslake Community High School District 127 attendance boundaries through age 21, inclusive (or until graduation) shall be afforded the right and opportunity to an equal education. No student shall be excluded, segregated, or discriminated against in the District's programs on account of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, disability, religion, or limited English speaking skills. District 127 affirms the human dignity and worth of each student to be free from discrimination and harassment.
The District does not permit harassment in its educational programs, activities, or employment policies as required by Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title IIA of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Grievance procedures have been established for student and employee complaints. The Non-discrimination Coordinators for District 127 is the Director of Human Resources. The Section 504 Coordinator for District 127 is the Director of Special Education. The Title IX Coordinator for District 127 is the Director of Human Resources.
Final Exams and Grading
Attendance is mandatory on the last day of each session, as final exams are scheduled for that day. All textbooks must be returned before the last day of class. Students will be billed for unreturned materials. If a student is failing or near failing at mid-term of summer school, parents will be notified in writing. Final grade reports will be sent upon the conclusion of each session.
GPA
Summer school grades for all credited courses will be included in the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA). Pass/Fail courses follow the procedures outlined in the Student Handbook and the 2021-2022 Registration Guide. All credited courses are regular level unless otherwise noted in the course description.
Homework/Study
Summer school classes cover a great deal of material over a short period of time; consequently, students must study outside of class. Approximately one week's study in the regular school year is covered each day of summer school. For in-person classes, books are to be taken home each day as no hall lockers will be available for student use. Work missed due to an absence must be made up within three days after returning to school. No late work will be accepted beyond the last day of class for each semester. Incomplete grades will not be given for summer school courses.
Refunds
Refunds will be made only in the event that a class is not offered.
Registration
Students and families must enroll using this Summer School Registration link or by mailing this Registration Form. Courses will be removed from the options when they are full. Registration fees and optional transportation fees must be paid at the time of registration.
Any students with outstanding summer school fees by the start of the session will be dropped from the program. If you need to discuss payment options, please contact Jennifer Campbell at jcampbell@d127.org or (847)986-3449.
Special Education
Special Education support will be available for those students who qualify and who have a current IEP.
Tardiness
All students are to be on time and in the classroom when the session begins and after the break. Instructors will track the number of times students are tardy. On the third tardy to class or after break, a meeting will be held with the Summer School Principal, parent and student. If a fourth tardy occurs, the student may be dropped from the class and no credit or refund given. Any student more than 15 minutes late may be considered absent for the day. Unavoidable circumstances which make a student late should be discussed with the teacher.
Transportation
No cost bus transportation will be offered to the Summer Bridge students. Bus stops will be assigned by Durham and you will receive the bus information one week before the session begins. Summer Bridge classes will be held at Grayslake North High School.
Tuition
All course fees are listed under specific course information. All fees must be paid before the start of class or students will be dropped from the program. If you need to discuss payment options please contact Jennifer Campbell at jcampbell@d127.org or (847)986-3449.
