High School
Daily Class Schedule School Begins 8:00 - 10:30 Break 10:30 - 10:45 School Resumes 10:45 - 1:15 Academic Integrity Academic integrity is essential to the pursuit of truth and knowledge. The SBEA expects the highest standards of integrity from its students in the performance of academic assignments. Academic dishonesty usually refers to forms of cheating, which result in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise or receiving credit for work which is not their own. Moreover, the SBEA requires the cooperation of its students creating an environment that is conducive to everyone’s learning. Creating this environment includes but is not limited to: • Arriving and departing class on time; • Attending class regularly; • Being prepared for class work and class discussion; • Participating in discussions in a way that does not discriminate against or harass peers or instructors, and that respects the free inquiry of others; • Refraining from disruptive behavior (e.g. talking, noises from electronic devices, coming and going during class, sleeping during class); • Respecting academic resources by the appropriate use of classroom equipment and exhibiting proper care of textbooks; • Adhering to specific classroom standards set forth by the instructor.

Attendance and Tardy Policy It is expected that students will attend class daily and be on time. Rules regarding absences and tardies will be strictly enforced. Read and review, with your student, the following section regarding absences and tardies so there is no misunderstanding. Appointments should be made outside of summer school class hours. If an unexpected circumstance requires a student to leave class early, the parent or student should inform the teacher. Please be aware that a student’s attendance status will be affected by early departure or late arrival to class. Attendance must be strictly enforced in classes where course credit is given. Failure to attend class regularly jeopardizes a student’s chances for academic success. Teachers will count tardies at the beginning of class and when the student returns from breaks. • Students enrolled in a credit class will be allowed only ONE day of absence per semester or three week period. • Please note that two (2) tardies are equivalent to a one-half (1/2) day absence. • Please note that four (4) tardies are equivalent to a one (1) day absence. • There are no excused absences. All absences count toward the number of days students are allowed, without exception. Regardless of the reason for the absence, any student who exceeds the allowable number of absences for the class will be dropped from the class and will not receive class credit. Furthermore, students must still complete the Drop Request Form explained below to avoid failing the class. • Parents or guardians will be notified if a student has been dropped from a class. • Students dropped from a class are not eligible for a refund for unused days. • Refunds are not given for short term illness. • Refunds are not given for vacation periods, special events, or other personal commitments requiring an absence from class. Auditing and/or Dropping a Class
High School
Auditing a Class Auditing a class means that a student is enrolled, pays all fees, regularly attends class, and completes all assignments, but does not receive a grade or credit for the class. Some students may wish to audit a class to become familiar with subject matter without worrying about grades. This also will prepare a student for upcoming classes. A student may request permission to audit a class by filing a “Petition to Audit” before the appropriate dates indicated below. No academic credit will be given for an audit. Students will be granted an audit only if the teacher, site administrator and a parent or guardian agree to the change of class status to “audit”. Once a Petition to Audit has been processed, students will not be permitted to change enrollment status to receive credit for a class. Because students often change their minds after being in the class awhile, it is better to delay the request for an audit until just before the deadline. Remember, students who audit a class still must follow attendance guidelines. Audits are irreversible. DEADLINES to file a Petition to Audit Semester 1 Friday, June 29, 2012 Semester 2 Thursday, July 19, 2012

Dropping a Class When a student is enrolled in summer school, it is expected that they will remain for the duration of the class. To drop a class, complete the Drop Request Form and follow the procedures listed below: • A “Drop Request Form” must be processed for all dropped classes. This form can be obtained from the teacher, or the Site Administrator’s office. • The parent or guardian, student, and teacher must all sign the Drop Request Form. • Textbook clearance must be obtained by the library staff. • Final approval for dropping a class will be given by the school site administrator. • Please note that no refunds will be given according to our stated refund policy. • Please be aware that appropriate signatures, textbook clearance, and final authorization from the school site administrator must be completed no later than 2pm on the date of the deadline listed below. DEADLINES for Dropping a Class Semester 1 June 29, 2012 Semester 2 July 19, 2012 Class Prerequisites All classes requiring a prerequisite will be verified prior to finalizing enrollment. To avoid unnecessary registration delays or a cancellation fee expense, please make sure students meet class prerequisites before registering for a class. Final second semester grades will also be verified and may cause a student to be withdrawn from the class if appropriate prerequisites are not met. Those students not attending a TUSD school will need to submit a copy of their transcript showing verification that they meet the prerequisites as stated. If there are any questions about prerequisites or appropriate class, check with student’s counselor.
High School
Credit Class An SBEA class offering high school credit can be used to meet graduation requirements at all TUSD high schools. Dress Dress should be comfortable to fit the weather. Bathing suits, bare feet, open-toed sandals, thong or flip-flop sandals and beach attire are not acceptable. Boys must wear shirts. Revealing clothing and bare midriffs are not allowed. The discretion of the school authority will prevail in determining appropriate summer school attire. Final Exams No early finals will be given Grade Replacement Classes SBEA’s summer program is an accelerated program, yet students may also use it for improving a grade. Any student receiving a “D” or “F” during the school year may take that same course offered by SBEA, for credit recovery or for a grade improvement. Any student receiving a “C” or higher in any high school class may NOT retake a class for grade improvement. Homework Policy Homework should be purposeful and related to the subject studied. Nightly homework requirements vary among classes and teachers. If an instructor does not provide a specific assignment, it is expected that students read, study, and review for the class each night.

Please note, due to construction classes will NOT be offered at South High School Official Transcript All students will be mailed an SBEA report card at the end of the 2nd Semester. This report card will serve as an official transcript with most schools. If necessary, students may request a letter of verification by contacting the SBEA office in writing, either by US Mail or via email at www.tefsbea.org. After requesting a letter, please allow at least 3 weeks for delivery upon completion of summer school. UC/CSU Approved The SBEA is offering many classes that meet UC/CSU “a-g” admission requirements. Classes designated as meeting UC requirements are so noted under the course description section of each course. Students taking a class for “credit” can check with their school counselors to be sure that the class meets their graduation requirements.
HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAM High School Program Design and Registration High school classes are offered for enrichment (designed for students wishing to accelerate their schedule), credit recovery (designed for students who fail required classes and must make up credits needed for graduation), and grade improvement (for students who received a grade lower than a “C” in a particular class and would like to improve their grade point average).
Students taking courses for acceleration must enroll in both semesters of that class. It is the intention of the SBEA to present a comprehensive list of classes to meet the academic needs of all students.
High School
Most classes meet UC “a-g” requirements (see notations) for college entrance, and unless otherwise stated, are offered as two semester or “yearlong” classes. Upon successful completion of class offered for credit, students enrolled in two semester or “yearlong” classes receive 10 credits toward graduation and students enrolled in one semester long classes will receive 5 credits toward graduation.
Grade Replacement/Credit Recovery A student may enroll in a single semester of a yearlong class if that semester is needed for grade replacement or credit recovery ONLINE Courses SBEA is proud to expand its offering of ONLINE courses. Please note, these are not shortened versions of the in classroom courses. Students will be expected to keep up with the instructional material and requirements. This will average five hours per day before homework is assigned. To participate in the “ON-LINE” courses, student must have a PC with an internet connection.
