Stress this for staff and students.
Explain that teachers are following the rules when they send students to the office for being late.

Please ensure that the students in your class physically are on your list.
Ensure that you don’t have extra students in your class and that everyone is on your list.
Do not add students to your attendance form without a note from the office.

Students who seek to attain academic advantage or help someone else obtain such advantage through cheating will receive a grade of zero.
Cheating is…[list from the handbook].
The first time we catch you cheating you receive a zero and we add notes to the SIS so that your day school is aware. If you have cheated before (ie. SIS has notes on this) or this is not the first time that you are caught cheating in SS then you will be withdrawn.

14. IEPs
If you have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) you must provide a copy to your teacher to receive accommodations.
We want to support you and need you to let us know if there are any special circumstances that would help. If you have an IEP you need to let us know. Unlike day school we don’t know that you have an IEP.

Teachers are not to distribute textbooks until classes have stabilized – that means that textbooks should not be distributed until the 3rd or 4th day of summer school.
Teachers need to track which student has which book – we will provide you with a class list to help with this.
Students are reminded that they will need to return textbooks when they are done in the course – if you are dropping or being withdrawn you must return the books before you are ‘officially’ removed from the course.
