Guidance Counselor On-Line Registration is closed General Information on Summer School 2010 Since the summer of 2004, TST BOCES has offered a regional summer school for component school districts. This year, the middle level program (grades 6-8) runs for four weeks, and the high school program (grades 9-12) runs for six weeks. Classes run from Monday through Thursday in the morning. The types of classes offered include repeat classes, classes taken for the first time, and middle school skill development and AIS classes. There is also a four week drivers' education program available to students in Ithaca, Newfield and Trumansburg. Students are enrolled only through their home school district. Guidance counselors at the home school will enroll students to summer school classes on line beginning in May 2010. Individual schools may restrict access to some of the courses being offered in the regional summer school. Students who wish to take an August Regents examination without being enrolled in a summer school class must get permission from their home school guidance counselor. Given the short time frame for summer school and New York State Education Department regulations, attendance to all classes is mandatory. Parents should not enroll their children in summer school unless the student will be able to attend all classes. Final grades for summer school classes are determined by the home school depending on home school policies and guidelines. Summer school is a privilege. Fighting, use of alcohol/drugs/tobacco, harassment, bullying, profanity, disrespect, endangering the safety of self or others, damaging property, theft or any other inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Students who abuse the privilege of summer school will be suspended. Further information about the TST Regional Summer School Program will be available from school guidance counselors from May 5, 2010 and will be posted on this website in April.
