Student Expectations for classes offered at MBIT:
Students enrolled in Summer School are expected to attend all classes. Credit for Summer School is based upon clock hours and requires PERFECT ATTENDANCE. Emergency circumstances may occur that result in school absence. Immediate contact must be made with the summer school office on the day of the absence to communicate the reason for the absence. For an absence to be excused, a student must return from the absence with a signed note from his/her parent/guardian or doctor stating the reason for the absence. At the discretion of the Summer School Director, any student who is absent from three classes in any course, regardless of the reason, will forfeit the course credit and related fees and will be removed from the class. Students who are repeatedly tardy may also be dropped from Summer School classes. Tardiness to class translates into a class absence in accordance with the following:
· Up to 10 minutes late to class = 1 tardy
· Up to 20 minutes late to class = 2 tardies
· Over 20 minutes late to class = 1 absence
· Students enrolled in Summer School are expected to attend all classes!
· Students who participate in the Summer School Program are required to follow the MBIT Discipline Code. The Disciplinary Code for MBIT is identical to Consortium Schools Disciplinary codes.
