When does Summer School start?

All students that receive an email confirmation of enrollment, this will be sent to their HUSD email address, will need to report in person or online on June 4th. If you are not scheduled to attend in-person, please log in to Google Classroom so that you can check in with your teacher.
Can I change my classes or switch to online/in-person?
If you want to make any changes to your registration, please speak with your counselor and/or a summer school counselor. They must verify that it is a class that you need and are able to take.
If you want to make a change to your current class for summer school, we can remove you from the current class but you will be placed on the waitlist until a spot is available.
If you want to switch from online/in-person, please email your teacher as that is left up to their discretion.
Why am I only registered for one class?
Due to the high volume of students registered for summer school, students are only enrolled in one class at a time unless their is extra space in a class and all students have had the opportunity to attend at least one class.
How were students selected for classes?
Based on when the students submitted their registration, they will be placed into classes based on the timestamp of submission as well as the school site they attend. In order to serve all the students in the district, we work to select students equally and fairly.
Registration will open on February 5th at 7:00 am and close on March 22nd.
How will your student know if they are accepted and enrolled in Summer School?
Students will receive an email in May 2024 on whether they are enrolled in a course for summer school. This email will be sent to their HUSD email address. If they do not receive an email, they could possibly be placed on the waitlist. In order to check if they were placed in a class or not, please email admin.summer@hesperiausd.org.
We will also be reaching out to parents via text messages and phone calls. Please be aware that we use numbers that we have on file at school sites via Infinite Campus.
**If phone numbers need to be updated, please call your child’s school site to correct the information.**
What if you, as the parent, want to ensure your child is placed on the Summer School list?
Parents or Guardians can fill out the registration form for their child. Parent/Guardian have until March 22nd to get their student(s) registered. If you miss that deadline please reach out to your student's school counselor.

HUSD Summer School students must understand that Summer School is an opportunity to further their education and avoid possible retention. Students must also understand that attending summer school is a privilege and not a right. All Summer School students must abide by the following guidelines in order to attend Summer School and be successful.
Daily at-school attendance is required! 2 tardies/late arrivals counts as a full day of absence. 2 days of absence results in being dropped from Summer School without warning. It is extremely important that when students have completed all assigned credits that they check in with their teacher on campus and in person to verify that they have finished all the required credits that they need.
If you are not showing progress on completing coursework you will be dropped from the program.
All regular school rules apply. Any discipline issues will result in immediate dismissal from Summer School. Serious infractions will result in HUSD Police involvement and possible citation.
HUSD dress code policy will be enforced, including no oversized clothing, no clothing that is too tight or revealing, and no clothing that promotes hate, intolerance, illegal activity, or signifies gang affiliation. And/or any other dress deemed inappropriate by Summer School Admin and/or HUSD School Police.
Electronic devices, such as cell phones or games are not allowed. If a student chooses to bring a cell phone to school, it must be placed in the off position, and it may not be visible. In addition to the electronics policy, students that use the Chromebook for non academic endeavors, will be dropped from Summer School.
