Summer Learning Student Placement Priority

Priority for student placement in a Summer Learning course is as follows:

1. Students who currently attend a West Vancouver Schools public school
2. Students who reside in the District of West Vancouver (including Bowen Island and Lions Bay)
3. Students who reside outside the District of West Vancouver and do not currently attend a West Vancouver Schools public school

Within each priority category, placement in all full-credit courses is based on the students’ grade level, starting with students going into Grade 12.

For all courses, registrations are ordered by time/date stamp of registration form submission, earliest first, within each priority category (catchment and grade level).

Grade 8 students are not permitted to request or register for full-credit courses during Summer Learning and Grade 9 students will only be permitted to request full-credit courses at the Grade 10 level.

Summer Learning administration reserves the right to adjust priority based on an individual student’s educational needs.

Students not currently attending public school in West Vancouver will be required to submit documentation in order to complete the registration process.

Attendance

Daily attendance for Summer Learning is required. Students are expected to fully participate in all classes. Other accommodations will not be possible.

Absences beyond two days or behaviour deemed to be inappropriate may result in the student being removed from the course. Two days of late attendance are equivalent to one absence. No refund for fee-paying students will be granted if the student is removed for not attending school.

Extended absences for any reason are not accommodated. These include, but are not limited to, work, vacations, sporting events, games or practices, family commitments, or music festivals. Students should not register for a summer learning course if they are unable to commit to full-time attendance.
