How to Confirm Enrollment

July High School

• July 1 - 26, Credit Recovery in person at BHS, ECHS, PHS, VHS, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. High school counselors register students for courses that need to be taken over, whether it is to improve grades or earn credits. Students and parents will receive and need to complete a Learn for Life “master agreement” electronically in April or May so they are ready to begin taking classes. 

• July 1 - 26, Driver’s Education at BHS or VHS, 8:30am-12:15 pm. Students must be 15 ½ years or older (born before January 26, 2009) to begin classes on July 1. 

• July 1 - 26, Health and College & Career Seminar (CCS) online or in person at BHS or VHS. The online students are enrolled at BHS in the summer but may attend BHS, FTHS, or VHS during the school year.  Students must take both courses during the summer. They may take Health in June and CCS in July or both courses in July. In July, each course is offered online and in person.  If students take Health and CCS in the summer, this may open up a period to take a second elective during the school year (if available). There is no guarantee that a student will get a second elective or a course of their choice during the school year. Students can get all of their necessary courses during the school day in 9th grade, so there is no expectation that students take Health and CCS in the summer, but it is available if students desire. 

 * these online classes are monitored and self paced- work must be completed by July 26th.

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 they have priority registration in Expanded Learning programs. 

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

They can take online or in-person Health and College/Career or Driver’s Ed (in-person) if they are fifteen and a half years old. Also they can take Math Readiness if they were scheduled for it in 9th grade and would like to complete it so they are ready for Math 1 as a 9th grader.  

Yes, at least one meal will be served each day.  For longer sessions in Expanded Learning, there were also be snacks provided.  

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, particularly in elementary and middle school. 

Current high school students may make up two semester’s worth of credits during the July Summer Program. There may also be opportunities at Ventura Adult Education if students would like to earn more credits.    

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

Our summer programs will be designated for VUSD students. We will maintain a waiting list of private and charter school students who would like to attend our programs. They will only be enrolled if space allows in July and we will not make that determination until after the last day of school on June 13.  Students who are currently not enrolled but who will be attending VUSD in the fall can be enrolled by VUSD Summer School staff. If you need to register or would like to be added to the waiting list please contact 805-641-5000 ext. 1380 or 1025 English / 1382 Spanish or email us at vusdparenthelp@venturausd.org

Yes, if your child has completed an entire year of school in Ventura Unified, they are eligible to take a summer program.
