Excused Absences
A student may miss one (1) day of summer school per session for illness or death in the family. On the second (2nd) day absent, the student will be dropped from the class.
An absence will only be considered excused if a parent calls Valparaiso High School (531-3070 Ext. 5314) to report the reason for the absence. This rule applies to all students including 18 year olds.
Other Absences
In certain situations, school sanctioned events may be considered excused absences. Students must make a written request to an Administrator before the opening of school in order to be considered for this exemption. All medical and court appointments should be scheduled after summer school. If this is not possible, written requests should be submitted to an Administrator at least two days in advance.
Unexcused Absences
A student may be automatically dropped from classes if they are truant or suspended from summer school.
Tardies
Students are expected to be in class on time. Excessive tardiness will result in removal from the class for the rest of the summer. Tardies are counted by when student arrives in the office to get a pass to class:
- 1T arrive 7:35:01 – 8:05 (up to 30 minutes Tardy) / 2T arrive 8:06 – 9:06 (31 to 90 minutes tardy)
- 3T arrive 9:07 or later (tardy 91 minutes or more) / Combination of 3 Tardies = Absence
- L=Leave School Early or Discipline time in office: Amount of time out of class counts the same as Tardies
Student Dress
Students will adhere to the same dress code as is followed during the regular school year and outlined in the Student-Parent Handbook. No spaghetti straps or strapless tops, hats, jackets, or apparel that advertises alcohol, tobacco, or weapons are permitted to be worn to summer school. Shorts and skirts cannot be too short. If students have a question about whether to wear a piece of clothing, they should not wear it. Staff should call Mrs. Pio at ext. 5314 before sending students to the office for inappropriate clothing.
Smoking
Smoking on school grounds is strictly prohibited and will result in withdrawal from summer school.
