Summer school 2010
 Kradwell School is a private, non-sectarian middle and high school (Grades 5 through
12) established in 1963. It is fully accredited and recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public instruction. We offer remedial,
make-up and enrichment courses to all student populations. The student/teacher ratio is 5/1. Weekly progress notes from each teacher
are mailed to parents or others as requested. Transcripts of grades/credits are mailed to the home school following the summer session.
For more information about Kradwell please visit our website.
The seven-week summer session starts Tuesday, June 22 and ends Thursday, July 29. Classes are 60 minutes in length. Four classes
are offered in the morning and two in the afternoon. Flexible scheduling is offered, e.g., a student taking two classes can schedule
them from 8:30-10:30, 9:30-11:30 or 10:30-12:30, 1:00-2:00 and 2:00-3:00.
Kradwell School strives to provide a well-rounded education and a warm, pleasant environment. It is our hope that adolescents who
attend our program will leave with not only a strong academic base, but also a better emotional outlook.

ATTENDANCE
Summer school runs for 6 weeks. The first day of summer school is Tuesday, June 22nd and the last day is
Thursday, July 29th. In order to grant .50 high school credit per course students must be present.
* Absences in excess 3 school days impact the student’s final grade. Refer to the Grade Cap Policy.
*Family vacations, camp or other prescheduled activities occurring during summer school can be accommodated.
GRADE CAP POLICY
Classroom attendance is vital because many instructional activities include the following: demonstrations, cooperative learning
experiences, videos, oral directions/ explanations, and the practice of appropriate social skills. We believe that classroom learning
experiences, which are interactive, are more effective than passive learning experiences, which are not interactive and done outside
the classroom.
The Grade Cap is tiered and based on the number of absences/tardies during the summer session. All absences/tardies (except the
following exceptions) will count towards this grade cap. If a parent reports their son/daughter ill for the day, the student will be
marked absent and make-up work will be given to the student. However, the absence will count toward the grade cap schedule.
The following absences/tardies will not count toward the grade cap:
Absences accompanied by a doctor’s excuse, stating that the student was not able to attend due to a medical or psychological
reason. The excuse must be turned in immediately following the absence.
Absences that may be due to non-medical reasons but are deemed permissible by the Principal or Assistant Principal.
