SUMMER SCHOOL 2007

The Dauphin County Technical School will conduct a summer school program for students from Central Dauphin, Derry Township, Halifax Area, Lower Dauphin, Middletown Area, and Susquehanna Township School Districts.

Courses may only be taken to earn credit for a course that the student has failed in the past. Students must have completed one year in 7th grade to be eligible to attend summer school.

Summer school courses will be two hours in length.

Dates: June 25, 2007 through July 31, 2007.  School is not in session July 3 or July 4.

First Session: 8:15 - 10:15 Second Session: 10:30 - 12:30

STUDENTS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION

Credit - One academic credit is awarded for each summer school course successfully completed. One-half credit may be earned for Health, Physical Education, or Driver Education courses at a reduced tuition fee. Students may obtain one-half credit for other one-credit courses, but must pay for a full credit and must meet course requirements. Please call to inquire regarding one-half credit courses. Only the principal can approve one-half credit for one-credit courses.

Course Offerings:
A course catalog is available in your school guidance office.

SUMMER SCHOOL TUITION FEES

Summer school tuition is $130.00 Per Credit.
Health, Phys. Education, and Driver Education are ½ credit courses. Tuition is $90.00 per ½ credit.

Checks should be made payable to: Dauphin County Technical School or DCTS

Payment for summer school must accompany the registration form for the student to be scheduled for summer school classes. No refunds will be made after summer school starts. If a check is returned for insufficient funds or another reason, attempts will be made to contact the person who issued the check to DCTS. If these attempts are not successful or if the person does not pay tuition in full, the student will be withdrawn from summer school promptly.

Summer School Attendance Regulations:

· To receive one credit a student must not miss more than three classes.
· To receive one half credit a student must not miss more than two classes.
· There are no excused absences in summer school, all absences are unexcused.
· Three times tardy (late less than 30 minutes for a summer school class), equals one absence.
· More than 30 minutes tardy equals one absence.

A student will be dismissed from summer school for the following reasons:

1. The student becomes a discipline problem and interferes with the teacher teaching or
other students' learning.

2. The student is absent more than the days allowed.

3. Smoking on school property or adjacent properties.

4. Fighting.

5. Serious violations of other school policies.

Summer school is only 5 weeks long. We do not spend a great deal of time with attendance and discipline issues. Students are here to learn and teachers are here to teach. Disruptions are not tolerated. The principal's decision on dismissal is the final word on matters of discipline and attendance.

Summer School Dress Code - Regular school clothes shall be worn. Shorts are permitted if below mid thigh. No tank tops or spaghetti straps. The dress code will be enforced at the discretion of the summer school principal and staff. If clothing is determined to be offense, it should not be worn

Please contact your guidance counselor for course details and an application.
