  • Transportation will be provided within OTSD boundaries. A schedule of routes/times will be available before summer academy begins.

  • If a student misses 2 days of summer school at the elementary or middle level, their summer school seat may be given to another student. At high school, a student can only miss 1 day of class. If they miss more than 1 day, they no longer have the opportunity to earn the credit for the class. If a student is tardy for more than 30 minutes, that counts as an absence for the day. They will receive a “W”, withdrawal on their transcript.

    We do expect students to participate during each week of their session. We cannot accept registrations for 1-week segments of a session.

  • There will be minimal online activity depending on the class.
