BHS Summer School 2017

May 30 – June 28, 2017

Summer school offers a wonderful opportunity to earn high school credit. This year BHS summer school offers Health and Personal Finance, and the opportunity to recover credit failed in a core academic subject. Because of class size limitations, priority will be given to upperclassmen for credit recovery. Classes fill up very quickly, so we have a first come first serve policy with applications. Applications will be accepted at BHS Counseling Office starting March 13th at 7:00am (no earlier). The deadline for this application is April 7th, 2017.

  • Hours:8:00-12:00
  • First Day: Students should report directly to the classroom on the first day of school. There will be staff at the front doors to direct students to classrooms.
  • Attendance: Summer school classes are concentrated and cover information quickly. Vacations and appointments should not be scheduled during class time. Due to state regulations, a student is expected to attend 15 days (60 hours) of summer school in order to earn credit. Four make up days (June 22, 26, 27, 28) are scheduled at the end of summer school, but students that have attended all 60 hours (15 days) do not have to attend the make- up days. Students who miss two consecutive days without notifying the school (882-7426) will be dropped from the program; excessive tardiness will count as an absence.
  • Make-up Days: Four make-up days are scheduled (June 22, 26, 27, 28) allowing a student to attend a week long camp, provided there are no other absences. Any student planning to attend a camp during summer school must notify the school office and classroom teacher at the beginning of summer school so make-up arrangements can be made. The summer school calendar is on the back of this form. Students must attend 15 days of summer school.
  • Transportation:There is no bus transportation for summer school. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange transportation. Please make sure students are picked up promptly at the end of the class session.
  • IEP services, including accommodations, will not be provided to special education students during summer school. This includes, but is not limited to, having tests and assignments modified or read to the student or providing small group or individual assistance to the student.
