Summer School

The Board of Education for District 225 has established a policy for academic dishonesty. The academic dishonesty policy that has been established for the regular school year will be in effect during summer school. Any student who violates the academic dishonesty policy may be withdrawn from summer school without credit.​​​​​​

Academic Dishonesty includes such infractions as:

1. Obtaining a copy of tests or scoring devices
2. Using another student’s answers during an examination
3. Providing another student questions or answers to or copies of examination questions
4. Having another person impersonate the student to assist the student academically
5. Impersonating another student to assist the student academically
6. Representing as one’s own work the product of someone else’s creativity
7. Using, or having available for use, notes or other unpermitted materials during “closed book” examinations
8. Duplicating any portion of another student’s homework, paper, project, laboratory report, take-home examination, electronic file or application for submission as accepting a copy of tests or scoring devices
9. Having someone other than the student prepare any portion of the student’s homework, paper, project, laboratory report, take-home examination, electronic file or application, other than for a teacher-approved collaborative effort.
10. Permitting another student to copy any portion of another student’s homework, paper, project, laboratory report, take-home examination, electronic file or application other than for a teacher-approved collaborative effort
11. Using any portion of copyrighted or published material, including but not limited to electronic or print media, without crediting the source
12. Any other action intended to obtain credit for work that is not one’s own

If your student needs to be absent from their class, please email SummerSchool@glenbrook225.org  to report an absence.  Note that this will take the place of phone calls for student absences.

One day of summer school is equivalent to one week of classroom instruction.  Students are expected to arrive on time and attend all class sessions, including the final exam date.  Tardiness up to fifteen minutes will be considered tardy; after fifteen minutes will be considered an absence.  Students tardy under fifteen minutes on two occasions will count as an absence.  If a student is absent for more than two class sessions, they will be dropped from the course with a grade of “WF”, and no refund will be provided.

Students may not miss the final exam without prior approval from the summer school principal. Should a student miss the final, it will count towards the absence maximum for the course.

For summer school general questions, parents and students should contact the Summer School Office at (847) 486-4748 or via email summerschool@glenbrook225.org.   

• All returning students are required to bring their Chromebook or electronic device to class.
• All incoming freshmen who are attending summer school will be notified when their Chromebook is available for pick-up.

A schedule listing the course, starting date and class time will be emailed by June 2, 2025.

During the summer, we expect the same behavior as is expected during the school year. Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. Inappropriate behavior that is out of compliance with the current versions of Board Policy and Student Rights and Responsibilities documents located on the District website may result in a student being dropped from class with a grade of WF and families will not receive a refund.

Registration will be canceled for non-payment. Payment can be submitted to their student's campus bookstore or through the online payment portal.

An audit is an indication on the transcript that a student attended a particular class where no credit is issued. Any student taking an audit must adhere to all class and summer school policies. A student-initiated audit must have both teacher and parent approval and be filed in the Summer School Office within the first two days of the summer school semester. Audit forms may not be turned in before the start of summer school. Teacher-initiated audits can be done anytime during the summer school semester.

Students must comply with the regulations of the home school when choosing the pass/fail option. This elected option must be made within the first two days of the summer school semester. A parent signature is required to elect this option. For GBN/GBS differences, please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook (GBN / GBS)  of your particular school. Pass/Fail forms may not be turned in before the start of summer school.

A withdrawal (“W”) from a summer school class can only occur within the first two days of summer school. A “WF” which is a withdrawal with a failing grade will occur at the discretion of the summer school directors or the deans.

Final examinations are given on the last day of each semester. Students may not miss the final exam without prior approval from the Summer School Co-Principals. There will be no final exams administered early. Should a student miss the final, it will count towards the absence maximum for the course.

Grades for summer school courses are listed on a student’s transcript and will be included in the student’s GPA. (This provision includes summer school courses taken in the summer prior to freshman year.)
 

Grades will be available in powerschool for the first semester courses in July and second semester courses in August. No grades will be given out by phone.
