Most summer classes are offered in person. There are some online courses available. See the catalog below for details.

If you are unsure about which classes to take, please reach out to your school site's academic counselor for direction. General Summer Opportunity Session information and contacts are available in the catalog below.

IMPORTANT: Please see your Counselor for information regarding summer school sign-up. The student's counselor will assign the student classes and location for the Summer Opportunity Session based on the student's transcript needs or student interest.

After June 3, 2026, your counselor may have limited availability and not be able to assign classes. You may self-select classes by completing the 2025 Summer Opportunity Session Interest Form here.

***Schedules will be available in Infinite Campus on your Student Portal starting July 2nd.

If your student is planning to attend the Extended School Year (ESY) program at Valencia High School, your IEP team has most likely already discussed ESY. You should be hearing from the Administrative Intern team to verify whether your student plans to attend, and you will receive other information directly from them. You do not need to complete any other sign-ups. Students will be automatically enrolled.

Attendance

Courses taught during the summer condense and concentrate the instructional content of courses offered during the regular school year, so attendance during the summer session is crucial.  Excessive absences may be cause for students to be dropped from their Summer Opportunity Session and lose the ability to earn credit. 

Behavior

Overt acts of misbehavior, behavior that interferes with the education of others or threatens the safety of students or teachers on the school grounds or in the classroom, will not be tolerated and may result in suspension or dismissal from summer school. Any day of suspension will be counted as a day of absence. All school rules, including appropriate school dress, smoking, drug, alcohol and cheating, will be enforced. Failure to abide by these rules may result in the student being removed from summer school and the denial of credit.

Health & Safety
Each day before coming to school or work, evaluate your own symptoms and take steps to help prevent the spread of  illnesses.  If you are sick with or think you might have, help protect other people in your home and community.
