ESY Case Managers:

– If a special ed student attends Summer Enrichment school only, NOT ESY as well, do we have to supply materials/lesson plans? 
NO. Only students attending ESY within the summer school will need materials; sent to Denise by the end of the school year.

–  The ESY Consent Form will be a guarantee that our SpEd students getting SDI during summer school are enrolled in the summer program. There will not be another form/registration that will need to happen.
We’ll get the list of students to the directors of the summer program.

  • -Timeline/checklist – Please read through the timeline as it will have drop dead dates on it that you will need to meet.
  • Parks & Rec’s programs will be held in July.
    – We will still pay for our qualified students to attend even though they are running a                      month earlier than the Summer Enrichment Program in August
    – Parents will need to transport their student to GRO/EXCEL
  • Transportation Plan
    You will now be filling in a transportation plan for Summer Enrichment ONLY

Listen as Dr. Perry describes the model and its significant impact on how we interact with our students, our own children, and each other.
