Community Unit School District 220 offers a self-funded K-12 Summer Program. The program is available to any public, private, or parochial student who is a legal resident in District 220. Students who live outside the boundaries of District 220 are also able to take academic courses, if space is available. The program is designed so that students can gain academic credit, receive enrichment, and explore new interests as well as remediate a course, if necessary. In order to meet the criteria for the summer session, students must be eligible for the course during the next regular school year.

Attendance
Only 1 excused absence will be accepted during each session. Any student who is absent beyond one class period, regardless of the reason, will forfeit the credit and all fees. Students will be dropped from a course for any unexcused absence. All fees and credits will be forfeited. Each day of the summer school course represents approximately one week in the regular school year. Therefore, regular attendance is required. The basic responsibility for attendance lies with the student and parents. Summer vacation plans should not be scheduled during summer school.

Behavior Expectations
Any student that does not follow school rules may be dropped from the summer program. Students should familiarize themselves with the BHS behavior expectations in the Student Handbook. Students not attending BHS during the regular school year are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the Student Handbook and class expectations. No refunds will be given for any course dropped due to attendance or behavior issues.

Summer School Tuition
Once class begins, tuition is not refundable. Students eligible for the free/reduced lunch program may have their tuition fees waived. Full payment must be made upon registration, no partial payments will be accepted.
See registration page for fees.

Refunds and Course Credit
Course credit will only be given for completed summer school courses in which a student earns a passing grade. If a student chooses to drop a course prior to the first day of classes, half of the tuition fee will be refunded. After June 6 no refunds will be given.

Final Exams
Attendance is mandatory on the last day of each session. All final exams are scheduled for that day. Finals will not be given early.

Cafeteria
The cafeteria will be open for refreshments each day from 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM. Snack and drink machines are available in the cafeteria and Main Gym lobby.

Textbooks & Supplies
Textbooks will be provided for all students. Students must supply any other materials needed for their particular course.

Class Times
Unless otherwise noted all classes will run from 7:30 AM - 12:00 PM.

FAQ's

Can I change classes?
Changing classes on the first day of each session is discouraged. A $30.00 course change fee will be added for students who change classes on the day that each session begins. No changes will be made after the first day of each session.

Does the district provide transportation?
Parents are responsible for transportation to and from school. No transportations will be provided.

Who do I pay lab fees to?
If your course or camp requires a lab fee, they are to be paid directly to the teacher/coach on the first day.

What determines if a class will be cancelled?
You will be notified if a class is cancelled. It is important to have an alternative plan if a class is cancelled. The district reserves the right to cancel any courses which do not meet enrollment requirements or if unable to secure a certified instructor.

May I replace a grade?
All Grade replacements for students re-taking a class must be complete within 15 months from taking the original class in order to replace a grade. The student must notify the registrar that he/she is replacing a grade.

Can students outside District 220 participate in the summer program?
Students who live outside of District 220 boundaries are eligible to take academic classes (but not athletic camps) at Barrington High School during the summer session. In order to register, students must be enrolled in high school. If a student is not enrolled in District 220, it is the students responsibility to fill out a grade transfer request card at the registrar's office so that their grade will be transferred to their school. This must be complete the first day of class.

Students must provide the name of their school and a current school ID number. Please be advised that early registration will not guarantee a seat in an academic class because District 220 students will be given the first chance to enroll for the courses offered. Students who live outside the district will be charged an additional $50 for any academic course.

What Health/Medical information do I need to provide the Health/Nurse office?
Students entering grades 9-12 that were enrolled in a District 220 school during 2007/08 have records on file. If a student was not enrolled in a District 220 school, they will need to fill out a Health Card. Please notify the nurse if your child has an Emergency or Health Plan in place at their present school. The summer school nurse will share the health plan with their teacher. School Board Policy 7:100 requires the most recent Physical and Immunization record be on file. If you are not enrolled at CUSD 220 please submit these health records with registration. A health form, immunization record and recent physical must be submitted before the 1st day of class or student will not be allowed to attend BHS.

NURSE NOTES: Does your child have Asthma, Food or Bee Allergy, or other Health Condition?

• Please remember that if your child has an Inhaler or Epi-Pen that they carry at school, to notify the Summer School Nurse.
• Children prescribed an Inhaler or Epi-Pen should have them available during summer school in case of an emergency.
• Appropriate medication forms should be on file.
• Students may need an Emergency Care Plan (ECP) developed by the school nurse to be shared with teachers and coaches that have a need to know.
• Contact the School Nurse if you have any concerns regarding your child’s health status during summer school.

How Do I Transfer a Grade If I Am from Another School?
Students from other high schools must request a "grey" form from the registrar on the first day of each session to assure a grade transcript will be sent to their school. It is the students responsibility to pick up and fill out this form. They should notify the school they attend during the regular school year to see if credit is transferable.
