HCPS summer school learning expanded, more hands-on this year
Henderson County Public Schools summer school program begins June 9 and it s chock-full of hands-on activities for elementary and middle schoolers.
State legislation requires at least one enrichment activity as well as physical activity during either 150 hours, or 30 days, of in-person summer learning. Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services Wendy Frye said HCPS, along with community partners, will offer dozens of activities that go beyond textbooks and in-class learning during its six-week program.
The program will be held Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students will get a week off July 5-9 and instruction will wrap up on July 22. Meals and transportation will be provided.
