Extended School Year (ESY)
Our Extended School Year program will return in Summer 2025!
The Extended School Year (ESY) offers specialized instruction and related services to students with disabilities beyond the regular school year. The program is designed to provide support for students who need ongoing services to further develop key skills during the summer months.
Who is ESY For?
ESY is available for students who qualify through their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Each student’s IEP team determines whether ESY services are necessary based on their individual needs.
Our program will take place in Summer 2025—stay tuned for more details!
Key Dates
Here are the important dates to keep in mind for ESY 2025:
- Spring 2025 | Enrollment opens
- June 2025 | Enrollment deadline to guarantee transportation for the first day of ESY
- July 7, 2025 | ESY program begins
- August 8, 2025 | ESY program concludes (with the exception of STRIVE which concludes on August 15, 2025).
More detailed timelines and information will be posted in the Spring.
ESY Highlights
In 2024, we proudly supported over 2,000 students across 13 sites, providing them with individualized services to help maintain their progress and prepare for a successful new school year.
Our students had the opportunity to engage in exciting and enriching activities, such as exploring a life-size whale exhibit, building and launching rockets, and even enjoying pet therapy with adorable rescued mini horses and donkeys.
This year, our Extended School Year (ESY) program introduced a School-Wide Reward Program, where students earned tokens for positive behavior. They could exchange these tokens for items at the school store. The program helped improve focus, engagement, and life skills, and was a big hit with both students and staff!
We are excited to continue this success in 2025 and look forward to another fantastic year ahead!
Who qualifies for ESY?
ESY services are available to students with disabilities who are determined by their IEP teams to require continued support beyond the school year to prevent significant learning loss.
What types of services are provided during ESY?
ESY services vary depending on each student’s needs but may include:
- academic instruction
- speech therapy
- physical therapy
These services aim to help students retain and apply key skills over the summer.
When will details for the 2025 ESY program be available?
Spring 2025
How can families prepare for ESY?
Families can begin by discussing ESY services with their child's IEP team during annual meetings before the end of the school year.
Be sure to check out our website and communications for upcoming enrollment details.
Check back in Spring 2025 for updates
