Re: Extended School Year (ESY) 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians:
ESY services are considered appropriate if a student’s IEP team determines that an interruption in educational programming during the school year caused a decline in the student’s performance that cannot be improved within a reasonable length of time. ESY services are intended to support the maintenance of skills and prevent regression over the summer break.
Based on the public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), United States Department of Education, (USED), and/or the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) available to date, school districts may offer and deliver special education and related services to students with disabilities through any one or combination of the following methods:
- In-person instruction in accordance with applicable state and local health guidelines;
- Hybrid programs consisting of in-person instruction and virtual instruction; or
- Fully virtual instruction delivered through remote platforms
Information regarding our district’s program is detailed below.
Dates: July 3, 2023 – July 28, 2023
Days/Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00AM – 12:00PM
