Summer school classes will run from Monday, June 11, through Friday, July 20, 2001. Wednesday, July 4, is a holiday. Since the pace of instruction in summer is much faster than that of the regular year, absences are to be avoided. Students will be automatically dropped on their fourth absence, regardless of the reason. These classes are open to students in grades 8-11.
Classes are all academic in nature.
Priority for enrollment is given to students who have failed an academic class, those behind in credit, or those needing extra help to enter college. For this reason, space in a class is competitive. Each school will establish its own system for determining the priority for who gets enrolled, but a given high school may not enroll more than its allotted share. After that, spaces will go to those present to register. Students who are unsure as to whether or not they can attend for a full summer session should not register for this program since they will be depriving some other student of a spot in class if they enroll and then drop.
