Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) is a new CA state law requiring access to a 9-hour instructional day (including enrichment, educational supports) for unduplicated students (i.e. Homeless, Foster, English Learners, Free/Reduced Fee Lunch students, etc.) in grades TK-6 for 210 days per year (more than we offer in a regular school year), which is why it’s a part of our summer programs. ELO-P students will have the opportunity to take both general program sessions and ELO-P offerings. ELO-P students must fit certain criteria. Each school has identified its ELO-P students and has provided that information to the District. The District will be in touch with those families who qualify for this additional summer program with more information.

Breakfast will not be served, but a sack lunch will be provided for all grade levels. Check the Food and Nutrition website at the end of the year for food service dates/sites during the summer.  https://ventura.healtheliving.net/ 

There will be transportation provided for our Extended School Year (ESY) students.  Once students have been placed in summer program sessions we will determine if we can provide additional transportation for other students. 

No. While last year VUSD did host small groups during “June Boost” and camps in “August Enrichment”, the same is not true for Summer 2022 .  This is due in part to restrictions in summer school funding.

Go to Q Parent Connection https://venturausd.vcoe.org/parentconnect/ , click on “my information”, “edit” and add/change your information.   

They can take online Health in June and July,  College/Career in July, Driver’s Ed if they are fifteen years old. Also they can take Math Readiness IF they have been recommended by their counselor to do so. 

• For June Track (“2022-23 SI” in Q), Incoming 9th graders who are planning to take Health may opt to take 7504 Health SM in June (SM = “Semester). This June Health course is an online/independent study/remote course. Then in July, students can take College/Career Seminar (CCS). Or, incoming 9th grade students may take both Health and CCS in July.

• For July Track (“2022-23 SS” in Q), current 9th, 10th and 11th graders who need to open up their schedule for the following year in order to take an additional elective must take both semesters of World History 1531 Whist/Cul/Geo P S1 and 1532 Whist/Cul/Geo S2 or both semesters of US History 1581 US History and Geography P S1 and 1582 US History and Geography P S2 or both American Democracy (Government) (1 semester) 1644 American Democracy P SM and Economics (1 semester) 1614 Economics P SM for initial credit. All of these courses will be online/independent study/remote with weekly Zoom teacher/class meetings. A student in this situation may also take a “dual enrollment” Community College course that conforms to the content of the required-for-graduation VUSD course. Please see this list for Ventura County Community College District (e.g., Ventura College, Oxnard College and Moorpark College, or VCCCD) courses that fulfill these course requirements.

At this time we do not offer Language or AP classes during the Summer Session.

Current high school students may make up one semester's worth of credits during the June Summer Program and two semester’s worth of credits during the July Summer Program. However, June Program prioritizes exiting seniors who are deficient in no more than 5 credits. After that, available June credit recovery seats may go to credit deficient juniors and sophomores pending staffing. 

No, there is not. VUSD currently offers credit recovery courses for high school students only.

Any incoming 1st-11th grade student in the state of California can apply for summer program at VUSD, however,  priority is given to current VUSD students.  If a student from another district, private or charter school wants to attend a VUSD summer program, they will need to apply in person on the first day of instruction to see if there is space available . 

 In order to open up a slot for another on-campus elective in the freshmen year, Ventura and Buena students must take both Health and College/Career Seminar in order to free up a slot for an additional elective in the freshman year.

 FTHS students are not required to take both Health and CCS over the summer to open up a slot for another on-campus elective in the freshmen year – Health is the only course required to be completed for an additional elective. However, FTHS students may still choose to take both courses over the summer. Typically, only FTHS students who are multi-siting (MSE) back to their boundary school for one class (e.g., Music) or who plan to take a Community College course complete both courses in the summer. If an FTHS student does take both courses over the summer, they will not earn a slot for another additional (totaling three) on-campus elective.
