Department Overview

The Extended School Year (ESY) Department provides educational and related services beyond the typical school year. Individual Educational Program (IEP) teams determine if students qualify for ESY services based on a critical learning need or by showing regression following a school break. Students typically attend between 18-20 days per school year, six hours per day. Services are provided during the summer break. Students receive transportation, food service, and all related services required in the IEP. The goal of ESY is skill maintenance to reduce the time students need to begin learning new material.

ESY is a required service in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Performance Measures

Customer Service: Customer service is evaluated by students, staff, and parents via the use of surveys. The results are provided to each department to allow for opportunities for improvement.

Communication: The ESY office communicates with parents by holding a Meet and Greet prior to the start of each session. The Meet and Greet allows parents to visit the classroom, meet the teacher, and ensure all questions are answered prior to the start of the program.

Consistency: Professional development trainings are held for administrators, office staff, and counselors prior to the start of ESY to review universal procedures.
