Holyoke Public Schools offers a wide range of summer learning opportunities for students of all ages. These include:

• Extended School Year for students in grades PreK-12

• Summer Learning Academies for rising student in grades K-8

• Summer School for students in grades 9-12 from all three high school campuses

High school students who wish to recover course credits this summer have two options:

• For HHS North and Dean students: Holyoke High School North is offering a Summer School Academy for students from both the North and Dean campuses who wish to recover credits for up to two courses—and possibly buy back attendance. The program runs from 9 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays from July 8-August 1 at HHS North. Breakfasts and lunches will be provided to participating students.  Note: Dean students will need to coordinate enrollment with the Dean guidance office. Interested North students should submit a registration form as soon as possible. For more information, send an email to Summer School Director Mark Rodrigues.
  

• For OA students: The Learning Lab at Opportunity Academy will be open from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays from July 8-August 1 for currently enrolled OA students who wish to work on credit recovery.
