The summer school program at the Campbell-Savona Jr./Sr. High School is conducted for the following reasons:

- To enable students to enrich their education through additional secondary school courses.

- To enable students to make up work they failed during the regular school year.

- To enable pupils of sufficient ability and maturity to complete a high school program in less than the normally required time.

Summer school on the Campbell- Savona Campus is for students who attended grades 7-12 during the 2016-2017 school year. Each participating district will have their own summer school admission standards. Please see your guidance counselor. Participating districts include Addison, Bath, Hammondsport and Campbell–Savona.

Student Expectations

Respect- Students need to demonstrate respect to others in all areas of the building.

Ownership- Student should take ownership for their learning and their mistakes.

Attitude- Students should maintain a positive attitude at all times.

Responsibility- Students should be prepared and ready to learn.

Safety- Students need to practice good safety practices throughout the school building.

The school is made of students and adults who are given the opportunity to work with and socialize with each other honestly, morally, and courteously. Mutual respect comes from interacting with other members of the school. Students earn and retain their privileges by demonstrating responsibility and consideration for others.

Actions which endanger, offend, or harass others will not be tolerated. Student behavior must not interfere with the right of another student to receive an education or with a teacher’s responsibility to perform his/her duties.

APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR IS ESSENTIAL. All behavior shall be in accordance with the Campbell-Savona Central School District Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Policy. Violent and threatening behavior will be grounds for dismissal from summer school. Violent or threatening behavior will not be tolerated.

Always accept the judgment of a teacher whenever you are on school property. If you disagree with a teacher, present your views to school officials after following instructions. Do not refuse to obey a directive given by a teacher. Remember to respect your administrators, teachers, peers and most importantly, yourself.

Attendance

It is important to note that the summer school program is a privilege extended to you by your District, not a right. It is to your benefit to obey all rules and conduct yourself as a mature student.

· Daily attendance and participation are critical to earn a passing grade.

· There is no distinction between excused and unexcused absences.

· Three instances of tardiness will be counted as one absence.

· A student may be absent 3 days without loss of credit. When a student is absent the fourth day, BOCES will recommend that the student not be given credit for the class taken.

Registration

All students must complete the registration process with their guidance counselors. Registration is open from June 1 through June 30, 2017.
