GRADE REPORTING
Upon the completion of course requirements, grades will be mailed to the students' home schools.
Incompletes will not be given a grade option.
Please note: It is the student's responsibility to check with his/her home school to be sure that a copy of his/her grade
has been received and subsequently recorded on the school transcript. The Bloomfield Hills School District makes no
claim as to the transferability of credit earned in summer school to a school outside the District.
CREDIT EARNED
Courses offered will be determined based on sufficient enrollment for each course. Minimum enrollment numbers
will be determined by the Summer School principal and will be designed to accommodate the needs of students as
well as to provide for a solvent program. If you do not receive a verbal or written notification by June 12, assume
that the course will be offered.
Each half credit course is equivalent to a half year of regular school instruction and requires 2 hours 45 minutes
per day. Therefore, two sections for five and one-half hours a day (7:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.) must be elected if a student
wishes to take a full year (1 credit) of any course. This is a difficult undertaking, and only the most capable students
should consider attempting this concentrated work load.
