Summer School Course Guide

2018

Welcome The Sun Prairie Area School District staff welcomes you to Summer School 2018.

Summer School is a valuable opportunity for students to be engaged in programs and activities that extend and enrich the existing curriculum. It is a continuation of the strong educational programming offered by the school district during the regular school year. We are proud that the majority of our Summer School staff are our own district educators who work successfully with our students throughout the regular school year. We value their experience and expertise. We also have educators from other districts who join us to share their knowledge and skills with students. Offering excellent educational programs throughout the year allows us to fulfill our mission statement, “Futures depend on us…every child, every day.”

Sun Prairie Summer School Course Guide

Food Service (Brunch) School Nutrition will be serving brunch at all levels. Brunch will be served mid-morning at all schools. Menus will be available on the school district website and will be posted at the schools’ cafeterias for your convenience. If your child is currently eligible for free or reduced priced meals, their status will continue throughout Summer School. If you are new to the district, applications for Free/Reduced meals are available online or at the District Office. The costs for meals are available on the district website, Student lunch accounts are in Infinite Campus. You can pay for your child’s meals online through the Infinite Campus portal. Infinite Campus can be accessed in the following way: • From the District Website www.sunprairieschools.org, click on the Infinite Campus icon in the top bar. • Log in to Infinite Campus with your username and password. • If you need assistance accessing Infinite Campus, please request help at http://www.sunprairie.k12.wi.us/ district/ICPortalHelp.cfm • If you have general questions about Infinite Campus, please see more information at http://www.sunprairie. k12.wi.us/district/Portal.cfm Once you are in Infinite Campus you can go to: Balances & Transactions • Your student’s food service account is located on the food service tab in Infinite Campus. • From this tab you may view balances and see the transactions for each student.

Payments • To make a payment into your student's account, click on the payments tab. • Here you may set up recurring payments or simply make a one-time payment. Parents/guardians may still send in cash or check payments. As a reminder to make a payment, a phone call home will come if your students’ balance falls below $9.00. If you set recurring payments, consider selecting your low balance to a number higher than $9.00 in order to avoid phone calls home. If you have any questions about Summer School meals please contact Julie Wetmore at (608) 834–6544 or jnwetmor1@ sunprairieschools.org. Students do not have to eat brunch, but if your child goes to the line where brunch is being served, the servers are required by Board of Education policy to provide a meal. If you do NOT want your child to eat the brunch that is offered for a fee by the Sun Prairie Area School District, you need to speak with your child and tell them NOT to get in line for brunch. Parents/guardians should not rely on the teachers or the nutrition staff members to restrict children from eating brunch as this is the responsibility of parents/guardians.

Each school has a fresh fruit bowl available for students. We strongly encourage students to take fresh fruit snacks whenever they like. The fresh fruit bowl may be in the cafeteria or office area. Parents/guardians should speak to their child about taking fresh fruit daily if they like. We encourage students to bring a nutritious snack to enjoy during breaks or at the end of the morning periods. Please avoid sending candy or treats that have little or no nutritious value. Your support of our district wellness policy that promotes nutritious eating is appreciated. The class or school does not offer snacks, other than fresh fruit, on a regular basis.

Attendance For course review, credit recovery, or initial high school credit classes, high school students are expected to attend Summer School every day it is in session for every period they are enrolled in. Each day of Summer School for high school students is the equivalent of four (4) days during the regular school year. Attendance is recorded and reported just as it is during the regular school year. Parents/ guardians will be notified by the school if their child is not present. Please be aware that the same state statutes and Board of Education policies on attendance are in effect during Summer School. If parents/guardians know their child is going to be absent, they should call the school where their child attends and/ or send a written note to the school to inform school administrators of the absence. When a child returns from an absence, we ask that the parents send a note with the child; this ensures that we know parents/guardians are aware of their child's absence.

Transportation Service Transportation is based on your child's home address. To be eligible for transportation, a student must live more than one (1) mile (elementary) or one and a half (1.5) miles (middle, upper middle, and high school level) from the Summer School site.
