Waukegan Public Schools sets summer school June 3–26; some students may be required to attend

Nicholas Alazakis, director of communications for Waukegan Public Schools, said the district’s 2025 summer school will run June 3–26 for students in pre-K through 12th grade.

The district said elementary and middle school students will be invited based on academic need, while high schools will focus on credit recovery. Alazakis said students in grades 3, 8 and 9 may be required to attend summer school in order to advance to the next grade in the fall. Programs will run Monday through Thursday, and free meals and transportation will be provided for eligible students.

The district said individual schools will share additional enrollment details and eligibility criteria; families were directed to the district website for updates. The announcement did not list which specific schools would host sessions or how eligibility will be determined beyond the grade bands mentioned.
