ONLINE SUMMER COURSEWORK ATTENDANCE

Students in online classes are expected to log in to Edgenuity and work each day. Students will be expected to check in with their assigned teacher on a weekly basis. Coursework can be completed wherever there is a wireless connection.

Due to the high demand for online summer school, students whose Edgenuity accounts are inactive for 72 hours or more and have not made arrangements with their instructor, will be withdrawn from the class. Fees will be forfeited and students will need to complete their coursework at a later date and time.

A student may take up to TWO (2) online courses; however, they may not begin a new course until they’ve completed their current course, and they may not begin a new course after July 10, 2025 (week 4 of summer school).

IN-PERSON SUMMER COURSEWORK ATTENDANCE

Students taking in-person classes are expected to attend the entirety of summer coursework each day. Due to the intense concentration of the summer coursework curriculum, students who are absent for more than TWO (2) days will be withdrawn from the class. Fees will be forfeited and students will need to complete their coursework at a later date and time.

TARDINESS

In-person students are expected to be on time to class each day. Students who are tardy will be required to obtain an “admit” pass from the dean or the summer administrative assistant. Tardiness can also lead to dismissal from summer school, so it is important to arrive at school on time as well as return promptly from each break.

DEFINITIONS

• Full-day absence: Any absence in excess of two hours in a given day. 
• Half-day absence: Arriving at class between 15 minutes to 2 hours late, either at the beginning of the day or returning for any class break. Leaving class between 15 minutes to 2 hours early.
• Tardy to class: Arriving at class up to 15 minutes late, either at the beginning of the day or returning from any class break. Students accumulating THREE (3) tardies in a session will receive a half-day absence. 

To report a student absence, please call 847-718-5201. Student absences must be reported the day the student misses class.

In the event of inclement weather, students may be required to attend a make-up day.

SUMMER DRIVER EDUCATION ATTENDANCE

Due to state law regarding required classroom and driving times, daily attendance in Driver Education is mandatory. There will be no exceptions to this rule, and students will be dropped from the class if they are absent for a day.

FINAL EXAMS

Final exams may be given on the last day of the summer coursework session. Students are expected to be in class on the last day of the session. Students may not take their final exams early.

CLOSED CAMPUS

The summer school site is a closed campus. Students are not to leave campus or be in the parking lot for any reason. Students may not leave campus or go to their cars during class breaks.  Failure to adhere to closed campus rules may result in dismissal from summer coursework without a refund of tuition. 

Students in Driver Education or Enrichment courses who are using Summer Experience transportation may not leave and return to campus. During non-class time, students must be in the designated, supervised waiting area.

REPEATING A COURSE 

Repeating a Failed Course
If a student repeats and passes a previously failed course, the failing grade (“F” or “WF”) will be replaced by “RE” (repeat) on the student’s permanent record; the course title, new grade, and teacher of record will be recorded in the term that the course is repeated and passed; the student will receive the appropriate credit and grade points. If the student repeats the same course several times, all previous grades will be changed to “RE” when the student successfully passes the course. 

Repeating a Passed Course for a Higher Grade
If a student repeats a course (same or alternative) for which they have already earned a passing grade and credit, the highest grade earned in that course and the teacher giving it are recorded in the term earned and the lower grade(s) is changed to “RE” (repeat). 

Repeating the same course (number and title) can only be completed without administrative permission through summer school, young adult program, alternative school or in credit recovery. The administration can give permission for students to repeat a class in person during the regular school day. 

DROPPING A COURSE DURING SUMMER COURSEWORK

• Students who drop or are dropped from a summer course anytime during the 1st week will have the course expunged from their academic record.  
• Students who drop the course or are dropped from a summer course anytime during the 2nd week will receive a “W” (withdrawn) as a final semester grade. 
• Students who drop or are dropped from a summer course during the 3rd week will receive a “WF” (withdrawn failing) as the final semester grade.
