Summer School is a

written parent permission
and have checked out at the office. There are also
boundaries on the campus in which the students must remain during school
hours. Being outside these boundaries will result in the referral
process outlined in #15 below. A map of these boundaries will be provided
the first day of school. |

Q15. What is the discipline policy for Summer School?
|
|
|
All school rules for the
regular school year apply to Summer School. Students who violate
school or class policies will be given one referral with parent
notification. If we are unable to reach the parent or guardian by
phone, a notice will be sent home with the student. Upon the second
referral, the student will be sent home and withdrawn from Summer School for
the remainder of the summer.
Immediate withdrawals may be made in
response to serious offenses, such as fighting, possession of illegal
substances or weapons, or endangering others on campus. If a student
commits an offense for which expulsion is required, they will go through an
expulsion hearing which may affect their student status during the regular
school year. |
