Summer Recovery

Summer Recovery 2024 Overview

Registration will begin on April 9, 2024 and close April 26, 2024. Registration will be managed by each school and will be based on recovery needs for CPS students in grades 3 and 9-12.

• Grade 3 students only attend if needed to meet the Third Grade Reading Guarantee 
• Grades 9-12 students only attend the number of credit recovery blocks needed
• Grades 9-12 students may opt in for Health or Physical Education credits (please contact your student's school directly for registration)

Notification:

Families and students will be notified of eligibility status based on current recovery needs.

• If a student in Grades 9-12 passes a course and earns credit at the end of the school year, they will not be eligible for recovery for that specific credit.
• If a student in Grade 3 meets the Third Grade Reading Guarantee by the end of the school year, they will not be eligible for Summer Recovery.

Why aren't all schools host schools?

• ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funding is no longer available this school year. As such, CPS has reimagined Summer Recovery to enable financial and operational sustainability, and focus on recovery for students, while encouraging community-building across schools.
