CCPS outlines tuition-free summer learning, registration deadlines and site schedule
Summary
Dr. Booth presented Chesterfield County Public Schools' tuition-free summer learning plan: key dates (Bellewood June 9–19; other schools June 23–July 17; CCPS Online June 16–July 24), 19 elementary and six secondary sites, transportation and meals provided, and registration details (parent portal closes May 28; waitlists open after).
Dr. Booth outlined Chesterfield County Public Schools’ summer learning program, saying the division designed the schedule "to support academic recovery, enrichment, and equitable access for all students." She gave dates, site information and enrollment rules for the 2025 program.
Summer school is tuition free for eligible Chesterfield County students. Bellewood Elementary (a year‑round school) will run June 9–19; other in-person sites operate June 23–July 17; CCPS Online instruction runs June 16–July 24. The division identified 19 elementary schools (operating on two tiers: Tier 1, 7:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.; Tier 2, 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.) and six secondary sites (9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.). Dr. Booth noted that some high‑enrollment feeder patterns are split into additional sites to accommodate students.
Transportation will be available from neighborhood bus stops to summer school sites, and breakfast and lunch will be offered at all sites; meals at eligible schools will be free. Students are expected to attend daily with limits on absences: elementary students may not exceed three absences and secondary students may not exceed two absences during summer learning.
Registration takes place through the parent portal. Dr. Booth said registrations close May 28; once registration closes, waitlists open but students on waitlists do not receive transportation and enrollment is not guaranteed. The division will permit schools to register students during the last two weeks of registration if families need assistance.
Academic focus, testing and program options vary by level: elementary instruction emphasizes literacy and math with pre‑ and post‑tests administered via Lexia and DreamBox; middle school uses Mastery Connect and Lexia PowerUp for growth measures; high school students may take a course needed for graduation and will test as required. The division also offers specialized programs for students with IEPs and extended‑year services (ESY) for eligible students.
Dr. Booth also described enrichment camps (separately fee‑based, with parents responsible for transportation) and test‑prep academy offerings for students retaking standardized assessments. Families seeking details were directed to the CCPS summer programs web page and to contact their child’s school for assistance.
The board asked clarifying questions about how accelerated course fees map to semester or full‑year credit; Dr. Booth explained that fees correspond to credit earned (a full‑credit year course versus a half‑credit semester course) and noted nonresident pricing for CCPS online sections was shown in the presentation.
The board will receive no further action items on summer learning at this meeting; staff directed families to the summer programs page for registration links and site lists.
