Conduct
Conduct which interferes with the rights of other students to learn will not be tolerated and could result in removal from summer school. Events surrounding the reason the student is sent to the office will be investigated and due process given. All USD 259 BOE Policies are in effect for summer school.

Dress and Courtesy
The general atmosphere of a school must be conducive to learning. If a student’s general appearance attracts undue attention to the extent that it becomes a disruptive factor, the student will be asked to make necessary changes.

Cell Phones
Cell phone usage is prohibited during class time. USD 259 is not responsible for damaged or stolen electronic devices brought to summer school by students.

District transportation to summer school is NOT provided. Students can ride Wichita Transit free. For route information, see wichitatransit.org or use bus directions on digital map features.

Students are expected to be present each day of summer school without exception. When students are unable to be present for the entire 12 days, students risk removal from the summer school opportunity without credit and without refund. Family vacations, doctor appointments, and other commitments should not be planned during summer school classes.

No make-up sessions will be held. Three (3) tardies equal one (1) absence. Any student late after 30 minutes to a session is considered absent. Students with one or more (1) excused absences may be withdrawn with an “F” and no refunds will be given. Students with any unexcused absences will be withdrawn with an “F” and no refunds will be given. Emergency absences will be up to the discretion of the summer school administrator.

Dropping a course after the first day of summer school may result in an “F” and forfeiture of enrollment fees.
