For the very first time, Virginia Beach high schools will be playing lacrosse interscholastically starting this spring. With the Beach District season recently underway, each high school is fielding a varsity boys and a varsity girls team. On Tuesday, March 28, Kempsville and Ocean Lakes will play in a girls/boys doubleheader at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex (2044 Landstown Centre Way, Virginia Beach, VA 23456.) The Beach District schedule for all VBCPS schools begins on April 4.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (March 13, 2023) – The City of Virginia Beach, in partnership with the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia, will hold a series of community listening sessions between March 25 and April 3.

Great Neck and Salem Middle schools in Virginia Beach have once again received distinction as AVID National Demonstration Schools. This elite designation has been awarded to only 200 of 8,000 AVID schools in the United States and around the world. AVID National Demonstration Schools exhibit a college and career readiness culture through rigor and high expectations for all students throughout the school.
Ask any Virginia Beach fifth grader what they’re reading in March, and they’ll all answer the same thing — “EllRay Jakes is Magic!” That’s because Virginia Beach City Public Schools is participating in an exciting literacy program called All District Reads, which puts a free book into the hands of every fifth grader and encourages them to read aloud and discuss the story with their families, classmates and community.

School Grading Practices
Green Run Collegiate Grading and Evaluation Practices
“Guided Practice” assignments are 20% of the total grade. Short-term assignments in which students develop and describe skills, content, and concepts.
“Independent In-process” assignments are 35% of the total grade. Formative Assessments meant to inform instruction.
“Summative” assignments are 45% of the total grade. Evaluations in which students demonstrate mastery of skills, content, and concepts within a given unit.
Green Run Collegiate defines late work as any assignment submitted past the deadline.
A late assignment submitted by the next class will result in a 20% deduction from its overall grade.
A missing assignment must be completed prior to the end of the current unit to avoid receiving a zero. In the case that a missing assignment is due at the end of a unit, the due date of the late assignment will then be extended to one week after the close of the unit; assignments submitted the next class will receive a 20% deduction, and assignments submitted afterwards, within the one week timespan, will receive credit as determined by the teacher.
Per division attendance policy, students will be allowed to make up all assignments that affect the course grade. Students who are absent and elect to turn in make-up work will need to communicate with their teacher(s) regarding missing assignments.
Green Run Collegiate defines make up work as graded tasks assigned or due on the day of absence. It is the student's responsibility to make up assignments within a reasonable amount of time through collaboration with the teacher.
