WHY IS SUMMER SCHOOL AT AGOURA FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW?
Construction on the new Performing Arts Educational Center will begin at Calabasas High during the summer of 2010. A major portion of the student parking area will be used by the construction crews in this initial effort and therefore the CHS campus is not available for Summer School.

WHAT ARE THE DAYS/HOURS FOR SUMMER SCHOOL?
Summer School classes will run from June 22-July 29. (Exception: High School Chemistry classes run from June 21-July 29.)
For most high school classes, the first semester ends July 8, and the second semester begins July 12. The exceptions are Algebra IB, IC, and the 9th and 12th grade block classes. Algebra IB and IC, even though they are semester classes, meet for the full day for all six weeks. The 9th and 12th grade block social studies classes run their semester segments in a parallel manner, so students who are repeating only one of these classes will attend school all six weeks for half a day.
All middle school classes are six weeks long. Students may take one or two classes. Students taking only one course will attend school one period a day for the entire six weeks.
High School Summer School will meet from 7:30 AM - 12:50 PM; Middle School Summer School will meet from 7:30 AM - 12:30 PM.

DO YOU PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SUMMER SCHOOL?
No. Transportation is the sole responsibility of the family of the student attending Summer School. Information provided by the Las Virgenes Educational Foundation regarding transportation does not constitute any responsibility on our part. Shuttle service to and from Agoura High School may be offered by the cities of Calabasas, Westlake Village, and Agoura Hills. A fee for service may be involved. Contact your city of residence to find out more.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY STUDENT TO ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL?
There will be no money coming from the State to any California school district for Summer School classes in 2010. The Las Virgenes Educational Foundation (LVEF) will be running a fee-based Summer School Tuition for students in grades 5-12 at Agoura High this summer.

WHY IS THERE A FEE FOR CLASSES?
The Las Virgenes Educational Foundation must charge students who attend Summer School to cover teacher and staff salaries, plus the additional mandatory employer costs, rental of the facilities, utility charges, and materials fees. The difference between the tuition charged and the Summer School overhead is donated to the Las Virgenes Unified School District.

Students may take one or two classes for the 6-week summer session. Tuition is $500 for two classes and $350 for one class. Some classes have additional materials fees.

I HAVE AN IEP OR A 504 PLAN. CAN I ENROLL IN SUMMER SCHOOL?
If you have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 plan set up by a California school district, you can enroll in Summer School. A copy of the IEP or 504 plan must be provided to the Las Virgenes Educational Foundation so that we may determine if we can accommodate the student's needs in our Summer School program. Registration is provisional until we have made this determination.

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR SUMMER SCHOOL?
ALL Summer School registration will be done online on this web site. Certain forms requiring a signature must also be completed and received by the Summer School Office as a part of this process before a student is registered. All forms must be completed online and signed electronically, with the exception of the Electronic Signature Authorization (ESA) form, which must be printed out, signed, and returned by mail to the Summer School office. To access the ESA form, please log in to your parent/guardian account. To access any of the other forms, please log in to the student registration account. Classes will be filled on a first come, first serve basis, and determined by the date stamp at the completion of registration. Seating is limited, so register early.
You may exit the registration process without completing it and return to it at a later time. However, your application will not be complete and you will not be placed into a class unless and until all required documents and payment have been RECEIVED by the Summer School office. Because space is limited, we encourage families to complete the application process as soon as they can.

IF REGISTRATION IS ALL ONLINE, WHY DO I HAVE TO MAIL IN MY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE AUTHORIZATION FORM? CAN'T I JUST SIGN IT ONLINE?
The Electronic Signature Authorization form is the document in which you agree that we can accept your parent account username and password in place of your signature on the other documents we require. We need to have a signed copy of it on file in our office showing that you have agreed to this policy. Once you fill it out, you do not need to do so again. We will keep it on file and you will be able to use it for any future registrations, whether for this child in coming years, or for other children, whether this year or in years to come. To access the ESA form, please log in to your parent/guardian account.

WHY AM I HAVING TROUBLE SIGNING MY DOCUMENTS ONLINE?
There could be several reasons. If you have checked all the possibilities listed below, and are still having problems, please contact us.
- Have you logged in to your parent account to request and print an Electronic Signature Authorization (ESA) form? You must print the ESA form before you can electronically sign any documents.
- Are you trying to sign with the wrong Parent account? If both parents have accounts, but only one has requested the ESA form, only that parent may sign.
- Did you link the student in question to your Parent account? If you have more than one student, you must be sure that each student is linked to your Parent account in order to sign documents for him/her. If you did not link your information to the student during the registration process, you may log in to your parent/guardian account to add additional students.
- Are you signing the document using your Parent account username (not your email address) and password? The student account username and password will not work, nor will your email address.
