Attendance Policy
Attendance in summer school is mandatory to earn credit. Students must attend the first day of summer school to keep placement or they will be dropped. In addition, absences and tardies will be counted. Missing more than two (2) days of a summer school class during a three-week session for any reason will result in the student being dropped from the class with NO credit. Consequently, arriving late to class three (3) times will equal one (1) absence. Please keep Summer Academy dates in mind when making vacation plans.

Summer Intensive Geometry
Summer Intensive Geometry
The 2021 Summer Intensive Geometry course is intended for current FUHSD students who completed Algebra 1 in 9th grade and who want to advance to Algebra 2 in 10th grade.
The course was designed as part of the district's transition to Common Core. Since a year-long course will be compressed into a 6-week intensive summer class, the class will be quite rigorous: each instructional day is four hours of class time, and is the equivalent of about a week of regular school year content. Assessments will take place approximately every other day. Students will also be expected to complete additional assignments and projects independently. The first unit of study is expected to be completed online in its entirety during the week before the summer course begins, with a test on that material on the first day. To be successful in this Summer Intensive Geometry course, students will need to demonstrate a strong commitment by attending and fully engaging in the course work every day, both in and out of class. The current estimate for time spent out of class is 3-5 hours for the unit to be completed before the first day, and 1-2 hours per day/week for the duration of the course. This amount of time may vary based on the student's study skills and prior knowledge.
A letter was sent home in early February to eligible students about the SIG course and registration process. On March 1, eligible students will be emailed a link and have until March 19 to register for enrollment.
2021 Session Dates & Time
June 14 to July 23, 2021, 8:30 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. No class on July 1 and 2.
Location
TBD
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have not made a decision to offer this course in person, online, or in some combination (e.g. online instruction and in person exams). If you sign up for the course in March and then decide that the format of the course will not work for your family, we will refund your registration fee as long as you inform us before May 15. At that point, we will also inform your guidance counselor to enroll you in Geometry next fall.
