2024 - 2025 School Calendar

EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR (ESY)

Extended School Year (Esy)

The goal of our Continued Learning Opportunities during our ESY (Summer School) session will be to continue to address each student’s IEP goals and objectives to greatest extent possible given the circumstances.

ESY Services will begin on Monday, July 6th, and end on Friday, August 7th (5 weeks).  Staff will be available to provide, academic instruction, counseling, and related services between the hours of 8:30 and 1:30 only.  While we understand that these hours may constitute a hardship for some of our working families, we are asking that they be respected as closely as possible to protect our staff’s time with their own families this summer.
