7 General Summer School Information [continued] Registration for Summer School Priority will be given to those who register first. Registration begins on February 21, 2012, and deadlines are: First Semester: May 11, 2012 Second Semester: June 15, 2012 Any student who plans to attend summer school should contact the student services department at his/her school and register as soon as possible. Student services offices in all District 155 schools are open every weekday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the school year, and from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Mon.-Thur.) and until 12:00 noon on Fridays during the summer. Some courses may not be offered due to insufficient enrollment or limited sections. If sections are full, students will be placed on a waiting list. In some instances, preference may be given to upper classmen for course selections. Tuition & Fees for Summer School Drivers Education $65 Special Education Courses $35 Supply Fee Visual Art and Technology $15 Supply Fee (plus $180 semester tuition) All other courses: One semester tuition $180 Two semesters tuition $360 Please make all checks payable to: District 155. All fees are to be turned in with your registration form to your guidance counselor by the deadline date. There is a $15 late registration fee for all registrations received after the deadlines (May 11 for 1st semester classes and June 15 for 2nd semester classes). Credit card payments for summer school fees/tuition may be submitted online through the summer school link at A printed receipt must accompany the registration form. A waiver of fees for summer school coursework may be available for students who qualify. Please contact your child s counselor for more information. Waivers are only available to students who successfully complete the course for which they receive the fee waiver. If a check is returned for insufficient funds, the student will not be allowed to attend the class until the fee is paid (and absences will be accumulated). No refunds will be provided for any reason. Book Rental Tuition fees cover the rental of textbooks, while required workbooks and any other supplementary supplies must be purchased by the student. Books will be distributed the first day of class and must be returned on the last day. Students are expected to return the books in the same condition as they were received. Students will be charged for lost or damaged books. No academic credit will be given until all textbooks are returned in acceptable condition or are paid for in full. Attendance Attendance is extremely important, therefore, it is critical to plan ahead when considering enrollment into summer school. Most courses meet for 5 periods per day and are approximately the same total number of minutes as regular year courses. In fact, each class period during the summer school day corresponds to one and one-sixth days work during the regular school year. As a result, it is imperative that students be present each period on every day. Attendance is taken each class period (5 times per day). Any student who misses more than one full day of classes (5 periods) will be dropped from the class on the 6th period of absence. All absences need to be reported to the summer school office prior to 7:30 a.m. Failure to do so will result in a phone call to home or work. Instances of tardiness are addressed in a similar manner. Students are expected to be punctual to each class period. Teachers will record tardies for each period. The third tardy to any class will be considered an absence from class. Each tardy after the third will count as an additional class absence. Therefore, a student could also be dropped from class for a combination of absences and tardies, or a total of eight tardies. * * * All students must be present for final exams * * * 6

8 General Summer School Information [continued] Student Conduct Students are required to honor the same rules during summer school as they would during the regular school year.

If you have misplaced your copy of the student handbook, then please contact the main office. Some disruptive behaviors during summer school will result in a suspension. The number of periods for the suspension will count towards the student s total number of allotted periods of absences. As stated earlier, once a student accumulates 6 periods of absences he/she will be dropped from the class for the semester.
