SUMMER SCHOOL PROCEDURES

Jackson Prep policy allows a maximum of four absences in summer school (two in semester courses). These absences may not occur during the last week of the session. Absentees will be called, and a note is expected following an absence. Since the summer session is considerably shorter than the regular session, absenteeism can cause severe problems. Trips, vacations, etc., should be planned so that they do not conflict with summer school.
No early exams will be given.
A $22 textbook fee has been included in the tuition for all courses except Driver’s Education. Textbooks must be turned in after the final exam.
Dress for summer school is the Jackson Prep school uniform.
A concession stand will be open during breaks.
To register for a course, fill out the Online Registration form below. Registration will not be complete until payment is received in the Jackson Prep Senior High Office. Include the student's name on the memo line of the check.
A student who withdraws from summer school the first day will receive a full refund. Those who withdraw during the first week only receive a partial refund. There is no refund after the first week
Class sizes are limited. Early registration is encouraged.
