Attendance & Final Exams

Attendance

Because coursework is concentrated and equals the work assignments that would be received in a regular school year, attendance and punctuality are absolutely necessary. One day in summer school is equivalent to five or six days in the regular school year, therefore, students must attend each and every day.

Students who are absent may be dropped from summer sessions with no refund, credit, and dismissed from the summer school program. Drops will occur upon the second absence in a 3-week course. Students with excessive tardiness to class may be dropped from the course with no course credit and no refund. Students will not be excused for trips or vacations – please plan your summer accordingly.

If a student needs to be absent from summer school due to illness, a parent or guardian should call the attendance office before 8:30 a.m. the day the student is absent. Messages may be left 24 hours a day.

Students need to arrive for class on time. This helps students show how they are ready to begin the day and build life long habits for success.


Transportation

PACE buses operate during the summer and drop off in time for the start of 7:45 a.m. classes. There is no mid-morning service.


Final Exams & Grades

All summer school final exams will be given on the last day of each semester. All students are required to take the final exam. Attendance is mandatory on the last day of class.

If a student elects to take a course Pass/Fail, he/she must complete the Pass/Fail form prior to the end of the 2nd week of the summer school session. Courses that are required for graduation may not be taken as Pass/Fail.
