Summer School registration may be completed online or by mailing completed forms and a check to the LCFEF Office (4490 Cornishon Avenue, Room 211, La Canada, CA 91011).
Courses will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that multiple sections are offered, students will be assigned randomly to a section. Classes which meet full capacity will become wait list only and will be posted on the website; we encourage families to complete the application process as soon as they can. Classes which do not meet the required minimum enrollment of 15 students will be canceled at the discretion of the LCFEF Summer School Board. Parents of the students enrolled in those classes will be notified by mid May.

There will be a late registration fee of $100 beginning June 1, 2023. Students may register in person only on the first day of summer school at La Cañada High School. Please note that BOTH the student and the parent must be present for this registration. At this time, students may register for any open seats left in Summer School. Except in an emergency, it is NOT advisable to wait for this registration.
What is the LCFEF Refund Policy?
Tuition minus a $100.00 handling fee, will be returned for any reason, providing the request is made prior to 5:00 pm on, May 19, 2023. Requests may be made via email to sscoordinator@lcfef.org.
The LCFEF Board of Directors will consider a 50% refund (minus a $100.00 handling fee) for a verified death in the family, or a verified student illness or injury (doctor’s note required) which precludes a student from attending or continuing Summer School, providing the request is made prior to the first day of Summer School.
NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON WILL BE GIVEN OR CONSIDERED OUTSIDE OF THIS POLICY.
What is the attendance policy for Summer School?
There are no excused absences in Summer School for credit courses. When enrolled in a full year course, students are not allowed more than three (3) days of absence and no more than two (2) days in any one semester. For semester classes students are not allowed more than one and a half days (1.5) of absence in each semester. Students who exceed these absences will be dropped from the class.
Two tardies constitute one half-day absence. If a student is not in their seat when the bell rings, the student will be considered tardy. It is possible to receive more than one tardy per day (at the beginning of school and/or after breaks). If a student is more than fifteen (15) minutes late to class, the student will be considered absent one half-day.
Students enrolled in enrichment courses are encouraged to attend classes daily. Many of these courses are project-based and students will fall behind their peers impacting the overall class experience for themselves and those around them. Extended absences will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Students with excessive absences may be dropped from the class. There are no grades for enrichment courses, but teachers will communicate weekly with parents indicating student progress.
