Summer Programs

About the Programs

Attendance: For Upper School Academic Credit, a student may not miss more than two meetings of a class (in a full-year, two semester class). A student may not miss more than one class meeting for a half-year, one semester class. Students are responsible for completing all work that was assigned during their absence. Academic credit will not be awarded if a student misses more than two classes. Two tardies in the same class count as an absence.

Behavior: The School assumes that students are in the Summer Programs for a serious purpose, and that they will conduct themselves accordingly. Students should behave honorably and take responsibility for their actions. While there is no specific dress code during the summer, students should expect to wear clothing that is in good taste. The School will take exception to very unusually colored or styled hair, as well as inappropriate clothing. The School takes very seriously the concepts of respect for others and personal integrity. Rude, insulting, or demeaning behavior will in no way be tolerated. Students who fail to adhere to these rules or to conduct themselves within the spirit of the Summer Program will be subject to expulsion from the Program without a refund.

Books: Given the accelerated nature of summer school, all books and other necessary class materials will be purchased on behalf of students prior to the start of classes and distributed on the first day of classes. Students will be billed separately for these materials.

Canceled classes: Viewpoint reserves the right to cancel any program or class as necessary. If a program or class is canceled, we will try to find a comparable course or program as a replacement. In the event that we cannot find a comparable replacement, we will provide a full refund.

Enrollment: All courses are open to the public unless stated otherwise. Enrollment is done on a first-come, first-served basis. All courses have a minimum and maximum enrollment. If a program reaches maximum enrollment, subsequent registrants will be placed on a wait list.

Enrollment packets: Once registered, each student is emailed an enrollment packet. This packet may contain information specific to the student’s class or program. It will also contain a link to a downloadable medical form; all summer program participants must return a completed and signed medical form to the Summer Programs office.
Extended Daycare for K-Fifth Grade programs: Extended daycare is provided for children who participate in Camp Roadrunner and Camp Bobcat. The morning session runs from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m., and the afternoon session runs from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. The cost for this service is $10 for the morning session, $15 for the afternoon session, and $20 for both. A discounted rate of $395 for both sessions is offered to families who register for six weeks of Camp Roadrunner.

Field trip release forms: A signed field trip release form must be on file for all students who participate in any kind of off-campus activity. A link to a downloadable trip release form is included in the enrollment packets that are emailed to registered students. A student will not be allowed to participate in any off-campus activities without this form on file.

Food service: The school’s food service vendor, Sage Dining Services, will provide lunch at a reasonable cost to all summer program participants. Camp Roadrunner and Camp Bobcat participants will receive Patriot Cards (the school’s cash-free option for paying for lunch). Parents will need to fund their child’s Patriot Card before camp begins. All other students may use either a Patriot Card or cash for their purchases. Students may also bring their lunch.

Holidays: The School and all of its programs will be closed on Wednesday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

Medical forms: A completed and signed medical form is required of all summer program participants. The medical form can be downloaded by clicking here. Please return medical forms to the Summer Programs office.

Payments: All balances must be paid in full before the first day of the class or program for which a student is registered.

Refunds: We realize that summer plans can change. However, the school has certain fixed costs that do not change if a student withdraws from a class or program. To that end, the school has adopted the following refund policy. If a child withdraws from a class or program at least 2 days prior to the start of that class or program, he or she will be eligible for a full refund minus the registration deposit, which will be withheld to offset any processing costs. No refunds will be given for withdrawals once a class or program has started. If a class or program is cancelled, a full refund will be issued, including the deposit.

Registration:
All registration for Viewpoint’s Summer Programs is to be completed online. Online registration may be found by clicking here.
