How do I apply for financial assistance for Evening School?
Financial assistance applications will be accepted in the following manner (please only submit ONE version):
Is tuition reduction available for families for evening programs?
Yes. Financial Assistance is available for current HCPSS students. In addition to meals, students participating in the FARMs program qualify for a wide range of resources and discounts, including testing fees, tuition, internet and more.
How do I pay for an Evening School course?
Parents will be notified by email when a student has been enrolled in a course. Parents must then remit full tuition in order to enroll in and earn credit.
How much do Evening School courses cost?
Course cost varies by the number of credits for the course. Half-credit (0.5) courses cost $325 per course, full-credit (1.0) courses cost $550 per course and two-credit (2.0) courses cost $800 per course. Credit recovery courses do not have a tuition cost.
How do I submit a withdrawal request?
Prior to enrollment, a parent/guardian or school counselor may submit a registration withdrawal request online through the Synergy Parent Portal on the HCPSS Connect web page (https://www.hcpss.org/connect/).
How are students given priority for course enrollment?
Enrollment priority will be given to students by their current grade level. Grade 12 students have the highest priority and Grade 9 students have the lowest priority in a course. Remaining students will be randomly selected and enrolled in their selected course (or alternate course) until that course has been filled.
When will I find out if my student is enrolled for a course?
Parents/guardians will be notified via email of their child’s enrollment status (enrolled or waitlisted) approximately one week after the enrollment end date. As course placement is completed, you may check the status of the enrollment request.
What is the difference between enrollment requests and course placement?
Enrollment requests indicate a student’s interest in a course. Enrollment requests go directly to the student’s school counselor for verification and approval. After counselor review, parents will receive confirmation that the request has been either approved or denied. Approved requests DO NOT GUARANTEE placement in courses.
What happens if the school counselor doesn’t review the enrollment request?
If the school counselor does not review the request, it will not go to the Evening School administrative team to complete course placement. We encourage families to discuss the appropriateness of taking the summer course(s) prior to submitting an enrollment request when possible.
Why do I need the school counselor to approve the enrollment request?
The school counselor will help determine if the student has met the prerequisite requirements for the course(s) selected. The counselor can also discuss how the course(s) fit with the student’s high school plan.
