Extended School Year
Extended
School Year is for children with an IEP (Individualized Education
Program) and serves children in Early Childhood through grade 8. The
child’s IEP team must make the recommendation for ESY and write it into
the child’s IEP. The child must meet one of five criteria to be
recommended for ESY. The ESY program will be housed at two different
locations this year. The Early Childhood and Guided Level Classrooms
will be at Pritchett Elementary School. For students that are currently
in kindergarten through 7th grade, ESY will be housed at AJHS. All
classes will be held Monday through Friday. Free transportation is
provided.
