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 site will be offered if a sufficient number of students sign up for the course. Decisions regarding the cancellation of a class will be made by May 24, 2024. 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.

Culminating Assessments and End of Semester Procedures
All students must complete any culminating course assessments. 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 2024-2025 Curriculum 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, unless special circumstances warrant it and alternative arrangements have been made with the classroom teacher.
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. Fees must be paid at the time of registration.
If you need to discuss payment options, please contact Jennifer Campbell at jcampbell@d127.org or (847)986-3449.
Special Education
Teachers will fulfill any accommodations listed in a student's 504 or IEP, but case managers are not typically available during Summer School. If you have specific questions about your student's special education needs during Summer School please contact Rob Nicoletti at rnicoletti@d127.org or (847)986-3110.
Tardiness
All students are to be on time and in the classroom when the session begins. Unavoidable circumstances which make a student late should be discussed with the teacher. Continued tardiness will result in a meeting with the Summer School Principal to determine how best to support the student arriving to class on time.
Transportation
Bus transportation will be offered for Summer School students. Bus stops will be assigned by Durham and you will receive the bus information approximately one week before the session begins. All classes except Engineering a Sustainable Future, Personal Finance and Business 121 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.
