Behavior and Attendance Expectations for Parent and Students
Behavior Expectations
SLA is a fun, hands-on summer program. It is important that students are engaged and actively participating in the activities.
SLA students will follow the APS Student Behavior Handbook:
- APS Handbook for Student Success
- APS Handbook for Student Success Translations
- APS Manual para el éxito del estudiante de APS, 2022-2023 (PDF, 2.5 MB)
Summer violations of the student handbook may result in disenrollment. We want everyone to enjoy the program and stay safe.
Academic Expectations
The program will feature reading, writing, science, and math activities. Our goal is to help students learn throughout the summer and to make the learning experience fun, engaging, inspiring, and challenging.
Teachers may have some at-home tasks for students to complete, so please reinforce the importance of completing those at-home tasks.
Work will not be graded, and students will not earn course credits.
Attendance Expectations
Dates are given so that families may plan their summer vacations and fun accordingly. Because of the high demand and limited spaces, please do not enroll your student if you know they will miss more than 3 days. If your student misses more than the 3 days, they will be dis-enrolled. This policy is put in place for your students academic success.
Field Trips
All students will go on one field trip during the program. Your students school will provide more information after the start of the program.
