SUMMER SCHOOL RULES / DISMISSAL POLICY Student participation in summer school is not required in the same way it is during the regular school year. If behavior and attendance rules are broken during the summer term, the summer school principal can dismiss a student from summer school. If a student violates classroom rules and must be removed from the classroom, the parent/guardian will be contacted. In the case of a second violation of the rules, a student will be dismissed from the rest of the summer school program. Every attempt should be made to attend each time the class is in session. To get the most out of the summer session, your student should have perfect attendance. This allows for maximum state aid to reimburse the district at minimum cost so we can continue to offer summer school options. 2
