Student Behavior Code of Conduct - Dismissal |
Inappropriate behavior, misconduct and disruptions are not tolerated. A safe and positive learning environment will be maintained on campus and in class. We maintain a zero tolerance policy in regards to the use and/or possession of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or weapons and instances of violence or harassment. All state laws and school regulations regarding student rights and responsibilities are in effect during the program. We reserve the right to remove any student whose conduct does not conform to the goals and standards mentioned, without prior notification to parents or guardians. If a student is dismissed for disciplinary reasons, there will be no refund for unused days.
|
||
Attendance |
For student safety, all absences must be reported to the school office first thing in the morning. In grades TK-7, attendance is for enrichment only, therefore attendance is optional, not mandatory. If a TK-7 student is absent they must report the absence to the office by using our online absence reporting form at Report an Absence or by visiting our website at www.smsummer.us, or by calling and leaving us a message at, 626-299-7062. In grades 8-12 attendance is required for class credit. If a student in grades 8-12 will be absent, please call 626-293-1227.

Medical |
Any student needing to receive medication of any kind on campus must have a “Student Medication Form” on file at the office on the first day of classes. Forms available for download, www.smsummer.us.

Notice of Non Discrimination Policy |
The PTAffiliates Summer School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school- administered programs.
|
||
Non Qualifying Child Care Expense Disclaimer |
PTAffiliate's San Marino Summer Academy is a private school providing summer school education. Accordingly, amounts paid to provide education at the level of Kindergarten and above are not expenses for care and therefore do not qualify for the child care credit [Internal Revenue Code, Reg. 1.21-1(d)]. Therefore, no tax ID will be provided.
|
||
Tuition is Not a Charitable Deductible Contribution Disclaimer |
Although PTAffiliates is a non-profit organization, registration for PTAffiliates Summer School classes is not a charitable contribution. The amounts paid to PTAffiliates do not qualify for a charitable contribution deduction because educational services are provided to the student enrolled in the summer school program. |
