Welcome
The Sun Prairie Area School District staff welcomes you to Summer School 2016.
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.”

at all elementary schools and at Cardinal Heights Upper Middle

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 that
parents/guardians are aware of their child’s absences
from school.
If a child becomes ill or injured while at school, Welcome
Center staff will contact the parents/guardians to pick up
the child or inform the parents/guardians that the child has
been transported to a medical facility.

class during the summer will do a similar after school
program the first week of school. If you have not
attended a fitting, please contact one of the band
directors at the school you will attend to arrange a
fitting and to sign–up for this course. Please go to
http://www.spbb.org and look for the “Join Band” tab
at the top of the page.
The primary objective of the camp is to begin the
process of ensemble building or “ensembleship”
within the band/ensemble through varied forms of
rehearsal, musical games, and team building activities.
The first step in building ensembleship is to develop
an understanding of the myriad roles each person
plays. This lays the groundwork for ultimate goal:
improvisatory play and exercise of artistry.
