Student Expectations for classes offered at MBIT:
Students enrolled in Summer School are expected to attend all classes. Credit for Summer School is based upon
clock hours and requires PERFECT ATTENDANCE. Emergency circumstances may occur that result in school
absence. Immediate contact must be made with the summer school office on the day of the absence to communicate
the reason for the absence. For an absence to be excused, a student must return from the absence with a signed
note from his/her parent/guardian or doctor stating the reason for the absence. At the discretion of the Summer
School Director, any student who is absent from three classes in any course, regardless of the reason, will forfeit the
course credit and related fees and will be removed from the class. Students who are repeatedly tardy may also be
dropped from Summer School classes. Tardiness to class translates into a class absence in accordance with the
following:

Up to 10 minutes late to class = 1 tardy

Up to 20 minutes late to class = 2 tardies

Over 20 minutes late to class = 1 absence

Students enrolled in Summer School are expected to attend all classes!

Students who participate in the Summer School Program are required to follow the MBIT Discipline
Code. The Disciplinary Code for MBIT is identical to Consortium Schools Disciplinary codes.
