It is important that any student enrolled in summer school attend regularly and on time. During the school year a student must complete 60 hours of in-class time to receive credit. In summer school, students are trying to earn enough seat time to earn credit, meaning that attendance is extremely important.

• Attendance is taken every hour in summer school.
• 2 tardies = 1 absent
• If a student is 30 minutes late for a class period, it is marked as an absence.
• Students may not exceed 10 total hours of absences. (1 day of summer school = 5 hours of class.)
• Any student missing 2 days of summer school will be dropped. A guardian will be called and informed of the student being dropped from summer school.
