*Algebra 1 Part 1 and Geometry Part 1 do not qualify for credit recovery. To enroll in Algebra I or Geometry, the student must have completed a semester course with a failing final grade OR completed both Part 1 and Part 2 with a failing final grade in Part 2.

June Academy courses will utilize Canvas. Students are expected to bring their fully-charged, school-issued Chromebook every day. Seniors participating in June Academy will need to keep their Chromebooks at the end of the regular school year. Their devices will be collected at the end of June Academy.

Drivers and buses are limited in the summer. We are working to provide transportation for students that absolutely need it in order to attend June Academy. Here are some things to consider:

• Students may drive to/from June Academy.

• Parents may drop off/pick up students at Fort Defiance High School.

• Parents may drop off/pick up students at their home high school for a shuttle to FDHS.

Please discuss other transportation needs with your school counselor by May 3.

Students are expected to attend every day, starting June 3. The first day of June Academy will include an orientation where students will receive the expectations and information regarding June Academy requirements.  

Students may not miss more than two days.

Students must arrive by 8:00 a.m and will be dismissed at 12:00 p.m. Tardies and early dismissals will be documented and may result in dismissal from June Academy.

If a student is absent a parent must provide, in writing, the reason for the absence when the student returns. This can be in the form of a written note or an email to the administrator, Alex Miller miller.ac@augusta.k12.va.us.

Students are expected to…

• Follow ACPS policies and expectations, the same as during the regular school year. 

• Attend daily from 8:00-12:00.

• Participate in classroom activities/discussions.

• Bring a fully charged chromebook every day.

• Complete all assigned work.

Students may be required to complete additional work at home to be successful in June Academy.

Students who do not comply with ACPS policies and expectations may be dismissed from June Academy.
