The Lower Merion School District Summer School follows the Lower Merion School District discipline code to the extent appropriate for summer school with the follow consideration:
  • Level 1 infractions that would otherwise have resulted in a school detention will result in a warning. A second Level 1 offense by the same student during summer school will be considered a continuation of unmodified Level 1 behavior and will be treated as a Level 2 offense.
  • Copies of the Lower Merion School District Policy 235 Students Rights and Responsibilities are available in the Summer School office.

  • For the purposes of recording disciplinary infractions, Summer School will be considered part of the 2025-2026 school year.
