ACADEMIC COURSES GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR

TRADITIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL (MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES)

The Department of Continuing Education Summer School seeks students interested in striving for excellence. Students should be willing to conduct themselves maturely, both inside and outside the classroom, or they will not be able to take advantage of the challenging academic program. The atmosphere of the Summer School is informal, but designed with the expectation that those who enroll will be willing to work hard to improve themselves. Experience has shown that students who are unwilling to make a commitment to their work should not consider enrollment.

The Summer School admits all students and does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex or national origin in the administration of its policies or programs.

Attendance Policy

Summer School review credit courses meet approximately two hours per day. This time allotment qualifies students for recovery credit. Consequently, all students will be expected to attend every day. Summer School attendance policy states that unexcused or excessive absences will lead to course failure and, therefore, loss of credit. In short, if students miss more than two class days in a semester, they should not plan to attend class for credit. Only the DCE Director is able to authorize absences.

Requirements for High School Credit Consideration

1. Before the first day of Summer School, students must inform the guidance department at Simsbury High School of their intent to take summer work for credit. Students from other school systems must submit written approval from their High School Principal to the Simsbury Continuing Education Director before the summer registration closing date. Permission forms for out-of-town students may be obtained at your school’s guidance office or by calling the DCE office at (860) 658-3870.

2. Due to Covid the DCE will not be offering academic credit recovery this summer. Contact Simsbury High School for academic information.

3. The grade earned by a student as the result of recovery summer courses will be recorded on the permanent record as follows: “This grade was the result of summer education. The grade will be recorded on a pass or fail basis.”

4. Since some summer work is intended only as review of work already covered, credit for review courses will be granted only in instances when a student has previously taken a subject for a period of no less than one school year, or one semester for half-year courses. Students will receive no credit on their high school transcript for review courses taken only during the summer period.

5. Summer courses noted as “Health credit,” “PE credit,” “Fine Arts credit,” “Civics credit,” and Financial Literacy credit” will be accepted as high school credit upon successful completion. These courses do not need to have been taken previously in order to receive high school credit.

6. All work for summer classes must be completed by the last date of the summer session dates.

7. The Summer School reserves the right to cancel classes, add new classes, combine classes, change instructors, make modifications to the proposed course offerings, or make any other changes needed to insure the fiscal integrity and/or educational excellence of the program.

Students who fail with a below 50 grade should contact their guidance counselor for recovery credit op- portunities.

In-person DCE academic registrations will only be open to Simsbury residents due to Covid.
