Middle School Summer Recovery 2025

Parents and guardians will receive communication from teachers and school counselors if students are required to participate in this path. Students currently in sixth, seventh or eighth grade who did not pass one of their core academic classes will need to enroll in course-recovery classes during the 2024-25 school year. Please know that course recovery classes are only available to students who must repeat the course. These classes are not an option for students taking the class for initial credit (i.e., first time or for a higher grade). Transportation will be provided for current HCPS students.

Middle School Summer Academy General Information

ATTENDANCE AND TARDY REQUIREMENTS:

Attendance during Summer Academy 2025 is very important. One day of summer academy equals approximately one week of regular school. Parents are asked not to make vacation plans which conflict with summer academy dates.

  • Students absent more than three (3) days, EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED, will be withdrawn from summer school for one-credit classes. Only one absence is allowed for semester classes, including driver education.

  • Three tardies or three early dismissals will be counted as one absence, regardless of the time involved. Any tardy after 10:30 a.m. or any early dismissal prior to 10:30 a.m. will be counted as a half-day absence.

  • There can be NO EXCEPTIONS to this requirement, REGARDLESS OF THE REASONS. These attendance and tardy requirements are not meant to be punitive. All schools must maintain and enforce a minimum number of student hours per class in order to retain their accreditation.

 MAKEUP WORK:

  • Make-up work applies ONLY to EXCUSED absences. There is no opportunity to make up work beyond three (3) days because if a student misses more than 3 days, excused or unexcused, he/she is withdrawn. (See attendance requirements above.)

  • To be able to make up work on any of the three days allowed, students must bring a valid note signed by a parent or guardian stating the reason for absence.

DISCIPLINE:

  • Summer Academy 2025 is a privilege, not a requirement. There is much to be done in a compressed time frame; therefore, inappropriate student behavior will not be tolerated.

  • Students referred to the summer administrator for violations of discipline may be withdrawn from Summer Academy.

  • Copies of the Summer Academy Discipline Regulations will be distributed on the first day of the summer session to be signed by both the student and a parent or guardian and returned to the school. Residents and non-residents will follow the Henrico County Public Schools Code of Student Conduct.

REFUND PROVISIONS:

  • No refunds for regular summer courses will be given after June 12, 2025.

  • Henrico County Public Schools reserves the right to cancel classes for insufficient enrollment. Refunds will be given for courses not offered due to insufficient enrollment.

  • When a class reaches its maximum enrollment, registrations will be returned in reverse date order.

  • No refunds will be authorized for students withdrawn for disciplinary reasons or excessive absences.

FOOD SERVICE:

Breakfast and lunch may be provided free of charge through the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program, depending on a site’s eligibility status. Eligibility can vary, so please verify with a Summer Academy coordinator at the site. Students may also have the option to bring in their own snacks.

Summer Food Service Program Meal Times:

Breakfast and lunch time slots cannot pass the time below:  

  • Breakfast: 7-9 a.m.

  • Lunch: 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

MEDICAL INFORMATION:

All medical information pertaining to students who attend Summer Academy must be communicated to the Summer Academy Nurse. All medication, prescription and over-the-counter, MUST be brought to Summer Academy by a parent or guardian with the prescribed orders. If your student has medication at their home school, the orders may be obtained from that nurse. All medication must be brought to the Summer Academy by a parent/guardian. If you have any questions, please call School Health at (804) 226-5470.
