Summer School Limited.....

.

Due to on-going state budget issues, HUSD is not offering its complete summer school program as it has in the past. However, we have been actively seeking innovative programs using outside funding to provide a program to many of our students. By utilizing other funding streams, we are saving about $105,000. This savings will fund approximately 1.5 teachers next year, allowing us to continue to offer all of our current programs during the regular school year, despite the miserable budget the state is giving us to work with.

While I think it is totally unacceptable what our state is doing to education through the diminishing funds they are allocating to us, I am glad that we have partners that are willing to help us out.

The following are programs that we will be offering:

Migrant Summer School – this is funded through the Imperial County Office of Education Migrant Department and will be available to all identified migrant students.

College Begins in Kindergarten (CBK) Program. Funded through the College-Going Initiative Program, we will have four classrooms for students entering kindergarten this fall. This program offers an incredible academy style program where our future students learn what they need to be successful in kindergarten. It’s an incredibly fun, action packed day for the students, and we encourage parents to have their future Lil Vikes enroll for these classes.

Special Education Program Summer School - This is for identified special needs students who need the enrichment and on-going schooling as per their Individualized Education Program plan.

Algebra Academy – This program is being offered through a partnership with the Imperial County Office of Education for interested 7th and 8th grade students. This program will take place on the Finley campus.

Credit Recovery Program – This is a program for certain high school students who need additional credits to graduate. The priority for this program is seniors who are lacking the credits to graduate in June. Attending and completing the program should allow them to receive their high school diploma by the end of the program.

Adult Education Summer School - This federally funded program will offer English as a Second Language (ESL), Citizenship Classes and High School Diploma track classes for interested adults in the community.

The above summer programs will run from June 14th to July 9th, with July 5th as the Independence Day Holiday.

In addition, the Food Services Department will be offering free breakfast and lunch to all in the community under the age of 18, every Monday through Friday (except July 5th). This program began at HUSD last year and proved to be very popular with the community. The meals will be served at the Finley Cafeteria.
