SUMMER SCHOOL POLICY

The statement outlined below concerning Savannah Christian’s policy on failed courses, summer school, and graduating seniors is for your information.

Savannah Christian School’s policy on failed courses is as follows:

1. Any student who fails a semester course may make it up in summer school or the following school year. We recommend taking the course in summer school to stay on track. NOTE: Bible classes are not taught in summer school.
2. The final grade of a yearly course must be 70 or above to receive one unit. If the final grade is 69 or below, the failed semester(s) will have to be repeated in summer school to receive a unit. If summer school is not attended, the whole course (both semesters) will have to be repeated the following year. This option may pose problems with total credits required for college admission.
3. An English course or math course that is failed for the year will have to be made up in summer school (following the above policy) for that student to be considered for promotion.
4. Courses will have to be completed in summer school before school begins in August.
5. A student who fails 3 yearly subjects both semesters will not be allowed to return to SCPS the following year.
6. A student who fails 4 or more total credits at the end of the school term will not be allowed to return to SCPS the following year.

Savannah Christian School’s policy on summer school is as follows:

1. A maximum of 2 units (or 4 semester courses) may be taken for credit from approved institutions. Only accredited institutions are acceptable. If you have any questions about schools to attend, please call Mr. Kelley or Mrs. Rowland. Only those courses that were failed may be taken for credit in summer school.
2. You must take the courses written on the forms that will be given to you. No substitutions are allowed.

Savannah Christian School’s policy for graduating seniors is as follows:

1. Seniors who have not met all requirements for graduation in May will not march with the class in the ceremony.
2. Seniors may take 2 units in summer school to receive their diplomas in August.
3. Seniors who need more than 2 units to graduate at the end of the school year will not receive their diplomas in August.

Grades Earned in Summer School

Grades earned in summer school do not replace grades earned during the school year when computing your GPA. The courses are averaged with all of the other grades on your transcript. Each semester course taken in summer school must be passed. For example, if you take both semesters of Algebra I, you must pass both semesters. We do not average the two semester grades.
