How does summer school affect fall semester placement?
Summer school teachers recommend course placement for fall. Summer School counselors are available to adjust classes as needed.

How do I pay for a course I have registered for? 
Payment is not needed at the time of registration. Beginning, March 18th, Families will receive an email invoice notifying them of any summer school fees due on a weekly basis. Families will have one week to submit payment to the GBN or GBS Bookstore, or through the online payment portal. If payments are not received by that time, course registration will be cancelled.

How do I get approved for a class for which I am not currently approved?
If you have not been pre-approved to register for a specific course in which you are interested, contact your counselor to discuss the approval of that course.

What is an audit?
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.

What if I want to take a class pass/fail?
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.

What about withdrawing from a class?
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.

What is the final exam policy?
Final examinations are given on the last day of each semester. Students must be present for their final examination or they will receive a zero for the exam grade.  There will be no final exams administered early or after the last day of the summer school semester.

How are my grades recorded?
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.)

When will I get my grades?
Grades will be mailed for the first semester courses in July and second semester courses in August. No grades will be given out by phone.

Will  there be Guidance Counselors available?
Glenbrook South and Glenbrook North Guidance counselor will be available during summer school hours to discuss:
any issues that may arise during summer school signing off on audit and pass/fail forms how the summer school class impacts the students schedule in the Fall.

Will the students have a lunch break?
Students will receive three 10 minutes breaks during the course of their day. 

Where can a student park?
Students should park on the North side of the building and enter door KK.  All drop off students should be dropped off in the front and enter door E.
 

Attendance Reporting
If your student needs to be absent from their classes, please use the Absence Report Form to do so. The form should also be used when students need to arrive late to school or leave early. Please note that this form will take the place of phone calls for student absences. Please submit the form rather than calling the attendance office.

• English Absence Report Form
• Spanish Absence Report Form
• Korean Absence Report Form

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.

Student Conduct
During the summer, we expect the same behavior as is expected during the school year.  Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated.  Student course enrollments will be canceled and no refund will be provided for behavior that is out of compliance with the current versions of Board Policy and Student Rights and Responsibilities documents located on the District website.

Academic Dishonesty
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:

• Obtaining a copy of tests or scoring devices;
• Using another student’s answers during an examination;
• Providing another student questions or answers to or copies of examination questions;
• Having another person impersonate the student to assist the student academically;
• Impersonating another student to assist the student academically;
• Representing as one’s own work the product of someone else’s creativity;
• Using, or having available for use, notes or other unpermitted materials during “closed book” examinations;
• 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;
• 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;
• 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;
• Using any portion of copyrighted or published material, including but not limited to electronic or print media, without crediting the source; or
