2013 Summer School Information / FAQ
Community Unit School District 220 offers a self-funded K-12 Summer Program. The program is available to any public, private, or parochial student who is a legal resident in District 220. Students who live outside the boundaries of District 220 are also able to take academic courses, if space is available. The program is designed so that students can gain academic credit, receive enrichment, and explore new interests, as well as, remediate a course, if necessary. In order to meet the criteria for the summer session, students must be eligible for the course during the next regular school year.
Registration
This year, registration for 2013 summer school academic classes is included in each student’s normal process of scheduling 2013-14 courses. Instead of registering online as was done previously, students will simply request any summer school academic classes when meeting with their counselor in the early spring. Current 12th, 11th and 10th graders MUST attend a pre-registration appointment with their counselor by March 21 to request any desired summer school academic courses. Current 9th-graders MUST participate in the registration process during their advisory with the counselors to request desired summer school academic courses. If a student misses his or her freshman advisory pre-registration meeting, an appointment must be made with the counselor by March 21. Incoming freshmen (current 8th-graders) MUST submit the Freshman pre-registration Worksheet by Feb. 13 to the BHS Guidance Department to request any desired summer school academic courses. Forms will be collected during the BHS Transition Night from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 7. The form will be mailed to you by the Guidance Department at BHS. Registration for all camps will still be unlimited and will take place online and separate from academic advising, beginning April 22. Attendance Only 1 excused absence will be accepted during each session. Any student who is absent beyond one class period, regardless of the reason, will forfeit the credit and all fees. Students will be dropped from a course for any unexcused absence. All fees and credits will be forfeited. Each day of the summer school course represents approximately one week in the regular school year. Therefore, regular attendance is required. The basic responsibility for attendance lies with the student and parents. Summer vacation plans should not be scheduled during summer school. A student with one absence and 3 tardies may be dropped from their course with no credit or refund. Tardies

The student will be allowed to remain in summer school, providing the time is made up and scheduled with the summer school office before summer school hours. Approval of the summer school office is needed. 4th Tardy: The student will be immediately dropped from the course with no credit or refund. Any tardy exceeding 15 minutes in length, will follow the above 3rd tardy procedures with a issued contract stating the consequences. A student with one absence and 3 tardies may be dropped from their course with no credit or refund. Behavior Expectations
Any student that does not follow school rules may be dropped from the summer program. Students should familiarize themselves with the BHS behavior expectations in the Student Handbook.
