GUIDE TO HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMS 2019
Mission Statement
Virginia Beach City Public Schools, in partnership with the entire community, will empower every student to become a life-long learner who is a responsible,
productive and engaged citizen within the global community.
GENERAL INFORMATION This guide provides students and families with specific information about the programs that are available in summer school. Students and families should review this publication and consult with school counselors and/or teachers to determine which programs may be appropriate. When selecting a program, it is important to remember that all courses offered in Virginia Beach City Public Schools are available on a non-discriminatory basis. Students and families should note that all programs are dependent on sufficient enrollment and the availability of qualified and appropriately endorsed instructional staff. Enrollment in some courses may be limited due to the availability of equipment and space at a particular school. If a course is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, students may be allowed to enroll in the course at another site. Transportation outside the cluster will not be provided. Note: unless otherwise noted, all courses are restricted to students in grades 9 through 12 only. Rising ninth grade students may also attend high school summer school programs. ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT Attendance during summer school will be monitored in accordance with School Board Policy 5-17. Teachers will maintain an accurate record of attendance/absences by class session. Students are expected to be in attendance at each class session each day. A student will not be granted credit or considered for promotion to the next grade level if absences are excessive. As summer courses are condensed, excessive absences are defined as missing more than four (4) class sessions within a given session. Each day in summer school consists of two (2) class sessions. A parent/guardian may request a waiver of the summer school attendance policy by submitting the standard waiver request form to the summer school principal at the end of each summer school session. Appeals should be forwarded to the Office of Student Leadership.

The Code of Student Conduct will remain in effect during Summer School 2019. The Code of Student Conduct outlines the expectation for student behavior. Students will be subject to suspension or dismissal from classes by the summer school principal if they violate policies with regard to student conduct or if their behavior is disruptive and/or interferes with classroom instruction. If a student is dismissed due to behavior, he or she is not eligible for a refund of summer school tuition.

HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
The high school summer programs provide credit courses for high school students to accelerate their program of study or to repeat courses not successfully completed during the regular school year. Students enrolling in a credit bearing course for the first time must complete a two-session summer program equal to one year of instruction in the regular school term to receive full credit. Students repeating a course they have previously failed may earn credit by completing a one-session summer course. If a repeat course needed is not offered in a one-session format, students may elect to take a two-session course offering. Taking a two-session course as a repeat will cost the same price as a yearlong course. All Virginia Beach Digital Campus online courses are taught in the two-session summer format. Students choosing to repeat a previously failed course online will complete the full two-session summer program. All course offerings are dependent upon sufficient enrollment and the availability of suitable certified and endorsed instructors. All VBCPS students who are taking a summer school course which requires an end-of-course (EOC) SOL test must take the SOL test scheduled during summer school, unless the student has already passed the test. Students must be enrolled in Virginia Beach City Public Schools for the 2019-2020 school year before testing begins. All SOL tests except writing require one day of testing. Students who are scheduled to graduate by August 30, 2019 and are taking the SOL EOC writing test require four days of testing. Students scheduled to graduate after August 30, 2019 and are taking the SOL EOC Writing test require two days of testing.
