General School Rules
If you have any questions please contact a member of the schools administrative body, or your student advisor.

Extreme violations will be administered by the institute's Headmaster Scott Summers or the Deputy Headmistress Emma Frost.

Any student who misses more than 8 hours per semester course of summer school will not receive credit for the course, or 3 hours for Driver Education classroom. If a student is absent please contact the administration office.
EXAM DAYS: All students must be in attendance on the last day of each semester to take the final exam. Students are permitted to take exams early, or make up exams if extenuating circumstances exist. Students should be aware that the 'CUTTING' of a class on exam day may result in a failing grade for the semester being assigned to the student found to be cutting that day.
TARDINESS TO CLASS : All students are to be in their classrooms when the period begins. Any student who is tardy will be marked absent for the hour the tardy occurs.
STUDY: Summer school courses cover a great deal of material in a short time; consequently, students must study both during the school day and outside of school time. Books are to be taken home each day. No corridor lockers are to be used.
GRADES: Students who are taking courses for credit will receive the same type of grades as given during the regular school year.
LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS: Students are not to leave the school grounds unless they have signed themselves out from the administration office, spoken with their adviser, or team leader.

STUDENT VISITOR POLICY: No outside visitors (outside friends, family and so on) will be admitted to the school grounds without explicit permission of the faculty.

CITIZENSHIP AND STUDENT DRESS: While students are considered to be in attendance at the school voluntarily, they are still expected to maintain an acceptable attitude toward learning and in their dress. Students who do not maintain good school citizenship may be dismissed from school without refund and without credit. Students in summer school will be expected to conduct themselves and to dress in the same manner as acceptable during the regular school year.
....Technical Things That Have Been Added...
Communicators: All students have hand held or wrist communicators to use to quickly communicate with other students and teachers. They also can be used to track locations. These are used as opposed to cell phones because the technology is better.
Money: Students can have jobs on or off campus; however, due to the nature of the Institute, students also have a student account. Monthly students are given $200 in flex money for their personal use. This flex money can be reduced if faculty feel it is a neccessary punishment for breaking Institute rules.
