The ESY Program is designed to provide both academic and enrichment programs for students.  The district's ESY Committee, with representation from all divisions, has coordinated the planning and implementation of the program for 2015.  The ESY Program supports the district's Student Progression Plan by addressing options available to students and optimizes the use of Supplemental Academic Instruction (SAI) funds, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds, Title I funds, English Language Learner (ELL) funds, fee-based programs, community partnerships, and grant programs.

The ESY Program Handbook 2015 is used as a resource to organize and communicate with all stakeholders, including parents.  Additional communication will be as follows:

• Students and their parents will receive communication from their school which indicates the reason their child has been recommended for the ESY Program.  This communication will be delivered in a manner that best ensures that the parents have been informed of the need for their child's participation, including the use of Blackboard Connect (formerly ParentLink).
• The ESY Handbook 2015 will be available on the district's website for employees, students, and parents.
• Information regarding ESY guidelines, schedules, and forms will be available for employees via a link on the IDEAS desktop.
• Principals, assistant principals, and ESY Program facilitators will participate in meetings that will provide important information for them to successfully prepare for and implement the ESY Program.
