ESY UPDATES 4/20/2020: Please read letter to see updates to ESY and please register by May 8th, 2020, even if you have previously registered (due to changes) please re-register!
Dear
Parents/Guardians,
As we continue to
follow guidance from all federal, state and local agencies, our priority
continues to be the health and safety of our students and staff so that we can
all return to school once the pandemic has abated. Unfortunately, while we were hoping to hold
our Extended School Year program on our campuses this year, we have made a
difficult decision to offer our extended school year via a distance learning
platform. While this was not an easy
decision, we do believe it is in the long-term best interests of our students
and community.
Based on that decision, we know that some families may
change your mind about allowing your child to participate in the summer
program. The format will be similar to
the current program in which teachers will provide activities to be completed
at home by students and also offer opportunities for virtual instruction
through interactive platforms such as Google Classroom and Zoom. We are conscious of the many competing
activities you must complete in your days and as such we are working at this
time we are establishing protocols for offering related services such as speech
and occupational therapy via online platforms to the extent practicable while
also recognizing that the goal of current educational programs is to connect
with, engage and support students.
.
In order to hire staff to serve students enrolled in our
virtual extended school year, we are asking parents/guardians of all eligible
students who has Extended School Year services on their IEPs to complete the
enrollment form below. If you registered
for the on-site program, please re-register for the online program. The link is located on the special education
