1 Department of Teaching and Learning Office of Student Support Services GUIDE TO HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMS 2016 Mission Statement The Virginia Beach City Public Schools, in partnership with the entire community, will empower every student to become a life long learner who is a responsible, productive, and engaged citizen within the global community. GENERAL INFORMATION This guide provides students and parents/guardians with specific information about the programs that are available in summer school. Students and parents/guardians should review this publication and consult with school counselors and/or teachers to determine which programs may be appropriate. When selecting a program, it is important to remember that all courses offered in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools are available on a non discriminatory basis. Students and parents/guardians should note that all programs are dependent on sufficient enrollment and the availability of qualified and appropriately endorsed instructional staff. Also, enrollment in some courses may be limited due to the availability of equipment and space at a particular school. If a course is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, students may be allowed to enroll in the course at another site. Transportation outside the cluster will not be provided. Note: Unless otherwise noted, all courses are restricted to students in grades 9 12 only. Rising 9 th grade students may also attend high school summer programs. ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT Attendance during summer school will be monitored in accordance with School Board Policy Teachers will maintain an accurate record of attendance/absences by class session. Students are expected to be in attendance at each class session each day. A student will not be granted credit or considered for promotion to the next grade level if absences are excessive. Because summer courses are condensed, excessive absences are defined as missing more than four (4) class sessions within a given session. Each day in summer school consists of two (2) class sessions. 1

2 A parent/guardian may request a waiver of the summer school attendance policy by submitting the standard waiver request form to the summer school principal at the end of each summer school session. Appeals should be forwarded to the Office of Student Leadership. The Code of Student Conduct outlines the expectations for student behavior. Students will be subject to suspension or dismissal from classes by the summer school principal if they violate policies with regard to student conduct or if their behavior is disruptive and/or interferes with classroom instruction. If a student is dismissed due to behavior, he or she is not eligible for a refund of summer school tuition.
