– If you ride a bike you may leave it outside the lollipop. Awnings are there for rainy days

Behavior

• Behavior on grounds is governed by the CCSD Code of Conduct. Consequences are still a possibility if you make a bad choice.– At no time should you be anywhere outside the

area described in the last slide– Classroom rules are in addition to these rules– If you need a copy of the Code of Conduct please

see the District website or come to the office

Attendance

• You may have a maximum of 2 absences and still qualify for summer school credit in a course.– 1 full period missed = 1 absence– Tardy up until 30 minutes into class = ½ absence– Removal from class = ½ absence

• Remember, some of you are recommended to be here, some of you are required to be here. Big Difference!

Recommended for SS

• If you are Recommended to be here:– Advancement to the next grade is not in jeopardy– If you failed (or were not successful in) English or

SS, you have been invited to ELA class– If you failed (or were not successful in) Math or

Science, you have been invited to Math class– All behavioral and attendance guidelines are still in

effect

Required for SS

• If you are Required to be here, you need to pass ALL classes in order to advance to the next grade level– Exception to this is if you are required only to take

Spanish 7. If that’s the case and you don’t pass Summer School, you will repeat Spanish 7 as an 8th Grader

– Please don’t test us on this policy. We mean it!

A final note

• Regardless of the letter you received, you all have work to do to get ready for next year.– This work will take your dedicated time and perseverance to

be successful.– Much lower tolerance for misbehavior. Keep that in mind. We

only have 20 days to get a year’s worth of learning done!• Whatever situations or circumstances got you here, this

is a fresh start. Your teachers and I are here to make sure you get everything you need for success. It really is in your hands to make the most of this opportunity!
