Portsmouth Public Schools will again offer summer school programs for select students (elementary, middle and high) beginning Monday, June 16. For more information about the programs, please see below.
Elementary School
Teachers will contact the parent/guardian of students who are recommended for summer school (which will be based on academic performance in the 2024-25 school year). If the parent/guardian approves enrollment, then the student will be registered for summer school by the teacher.
Elementary schools will hold summer school classes Monday, June 16 – Wednesday, July 2. Letters will be mailed home to parents detailing the site their child/children will attend.
Middle School
Like elementary schools, middle school teachers will contact the parent/guardian of students who are recommended for summer school (which will be based on academic performance in the 2024-25 school year). If the parent/guardian approves enrollment, then the student will be registered for summer school by the school counselor.
Middle school summer classes will be held at Manor High School from Monday, June 16 – Thursday, July 24. Instruction will focus on reading and math content for the six-week summer school session.
