Discipline
Summer school is an opportunity for students to make up credits or accelerate credit attainment. The school district is not required to give students this opportunity; therefore, strict discipline is most important in the summer school classroom.

• The regular school discipline code applies at all times, including dress code.
- If it is against the rules during the regular school year, then it is against the rules
during summer school!

Mrs. Jokerst.
• Parents/guardians will be notified of discipline problems.
■ Students who sleep in class
• 1st offense:The student must stand for the remainder of class.

campus until the student can stay awake (time out of class will be
counted as absent).

bathroom breaks.
