Enrichment in High School Math 2016

Rules and Regulations
Dear Student and Parent:
Welcome to the 2016 summer school session. Regardless of the reason
why you have chosen to enroll, the Administration and Staff of McHenry
Community High School District 156 sincerely hope that you will find
summer school rewarding and beneficial.
Summer school will be held at McHenry High School – West Campus
Greetings Parents and Incoming 9th Grade Students!
We are excited to offer our incoming 9th graders an
important opportunity this summer. MCHS will be offering
and highly encouraging our incoming 8th grade students to
take “Enrichment in High School Math”. This course will be
a non-credit introduction to high school that will greatly
increase your student’s chances of having a highly
successful freshmen year. Students will be able to sharpen
and enrich their math skills while learning about high school
and helping to make a great transition from middle school.
No matter what your student’s level of math skill is, this
course will be geared for their individual needs! We hope to
see vast numbers of incoming students register for one
semester at a greatly reduced price. We look forward to
meeting you and encouraging you on the road to high
school success!
Yours in learning,
Carl D. Vallianatos, Ed.S.
Director of Curriculum and Instruction
McHenry Community High School District #156
In order to ensure that there is no confusion or misunderstanding
concerning the policies, procedures, and expectations regarding summer
school, we ask each student and parent to read the information contained
below and then sign that they are aware of these policies and/or
regulations.
Attendance: Attendance is extremely important. In summer school, 18
weeks of material is covered in fifteen days and, as a result, is very
intensive. Subsequently, it is expected that students be in
attendance on a daily basis, because class work is extremely
difficult or impossible to make up within a fifteen day time period.
AT A MAXIMUM, STUDENTS CAN ONLY MISS ONE DAY
OR HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE TARDIES TO CLASS.
Discipline: Summer school enrollment is an option for students. It is not a
requirement. Therefore, policies and procedures used during the
regular school year do not apply. A student will simply be
removed from summer school if, after a warning, he/she continues
to make irresponsible choices.
Basic Summer School Rules: All school rules apply
No Smoking on School Grounds: State law prohibits smoking in/on
any public buildings/premises.
No Fighting/Physical Aggression: Fights/intimidation amongst
students will not be tolerated. Students engaging in these
behaviors will be removed from summer school.
No Drugs/Alcohol: The use or sale of drugs/alcohol is illegal and
strictly prohibited. Violators will be dismissed from school and a
referral to legal authorities will be made.
Insubordination, Gross Misconduct: Acts of insubordination and gross
misconduct will result in dismissal from the summer school
program.

GET HIGH SCHOOL OFF TO A GREAT START!
Enrichment in High School Math
This course is for all incoming freshmen but will be different
for each student depending upon their 8th grade math
experience. Students who take regular 8th grade math will
experience reinforcement of key concepts as well as new
concepts using modeling that bridges their 8th grade learning to
the rigors of the high school curriculum. Students who took
Algebra 1 in 8th grade will benefit from taking an accelerated
course that introduces advanced algebraic topics such as
modeling with functions using technology, quadratics,
advanced exponents and STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) Topics. All students will experience
high school math and benefit by having an easier time with
transition to high school. All behavior and attendance rules
apply. Non-credit course offered at reduced cost to incoming
9th graders ONLY!
