The
Kendall Park Learning Center is an educational resource
institution which augments what students are learning in
school by providing remediation and enrichment instruction
in all academic subjects in elementary, middle and high
school. The Center offers instruction on a one-on-one basis
or in small groups. An individualized program is designed
for each student, and instruction is provided by experienced
teachers. In working with students with special needs, the
Center's teachers and staff are prepared to implement an
IEP or design an IEP.
Philosophy
Kendall Park Learning Center (KPLC) is committed to the growth and success of individuals personally and academically.
Through academic achievement, students gain knowledge and confidence in themselves, ultimately becoming accomplished,
self-assured members of society. Instructors are selected based on their mastery of the subject matter they are responsible for teaching,
classroom teaching experience, and their ability to adapt their teaching method to accommodate individual learning styles.
Our goal is to develop each student's critical reasoning skills and academic knowledge so that he/she can take his/her understanding and apply
it to succeed in the real world.
Expectations
The mission of the Kendall Park Learning Center is to promote success through building self-confidence. Students are expected to be on their best behavior while in summer school. The following is a brief discussion of our most important school rules. Read them carefully.

Attendance Policy
In accordance with the laws of the State, the Kendall Park Learning Center requires students to attend school regularly to ensure continuity of instruction and classroom participation. Students must assume responsibility
for regular attendance in order for KPLC to fulfill its obligations and meet its goals and objectives to both its students and districts it serves.
KPLC adheres to the attendance policy of the sending school
district. No more than the home district's allowed unexcused
absence per year. For each unexcused absence, KPLC will
contact the student's parents to determine cause of the
absence and will contact the sending school and other authorities
or agencies as appropriate. Advanced credit classes require
a total of 120 hours of classroom instruction in order to
receive course credit. Advanced credit science classes require
a total of 140 hours. Students taking the class for course
credit are allowed only one (1) day of absence, with those
hours to be made up, after school, before the end of the
summer session. Review credit courses meet for a total of
60 hours, and students taking review courses are allowed
only two (2) days of absence, with those hours to be made
up, after school, before the end of the summer session.
[No exceptions] Students are
expected to be on time for every class, with any time missed
to be made up before the end of the session.
Academic Tutoring Service Cancellation Policy:
It is our policy to accommodate your child's activities
whenever possible. However, when we reserve time for your
child, we cannot accommodate another child. Therefore, we
ask that you notify the Center within 24 hours if you wish
to cancel a session or call us before 12:00pm on the day
of the class. The cancelled session should be rescheduled
in two weeks or it will be lost. A session cancelled without
first notifying the Center within 24 hours or before 12:00pm
on the day of the class, cannot be rescheduled. The student
will be charged as if the session had taken place. We allow
one cancellation per month; if there is more than one cancellation,
there will be a rescheduling fee of $5.00. All confirmed
make-ups cannot be rescheduled.
Make-up Classes: KPLC will schedule make-ups
with the appropriate teacher. We reserve the right to schedule
all make-ups with any of our KPLC teachers if a child's
original teacher is not available.
