ESY SUMMER 2021
UPDATED 6/11/2021
| ESY 2021 Program Information | Final preparation is complete and we are excited to begin a rewarding six weeks of Extended School Year (ESY)! ESY will be delivered in-person, or as appropriate online in a remote learning format at Maine East High School beginning Monday, June 14th, until Thursday, July 22nd. Instructional hours will be from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and there will be no sessions on Fridays along with Monday, July 5th. For those students participating remotely, the four (4) hours of daily instruction will be a combination of synchronous learning (i.e. online in real-time) and asynchronous learning (i.e. occurring through appropriate online channels without real-time interaction). |
Summer COVID 19 Self-Certification
| Summer COVID 19 Self-Certification | Students & Staff are required to complete a daily self-certification during ESY before the arrival to school or loading on district contracted transportation. If a parent requires a printed form, this will be sent home with your child if the electronic form is not complete. Until further notice, the district is required to have any individual on campus complete a daily self-certification form. |
| Executive Order 2020-47, has been amended and extended through June 26, 2021. The order requires individuals in public schools to follow IDPH and ISBE guidance during Phase 4 through Phase 5 and take proactive measures to ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors. Individuals are required to self-certify that they are free of COVID-19 symptoms before entering the school building. | |
ESY is defined as special education and related services provided to a child with a disability beyond the normal school year of the public agency following the child’s IEP and at no cost to the child’s parents (ISBE 2005). ESY aims to help students maintain current skill levels and avoid regression of goal progress.
Our staff will include Special Education Teachers, Teacher Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists, Psychologists, Occupational therapists, Physical Therapists, and other related service personnel. To participate in ESY, the ‘active IEP’ must indicate a need for ESY services determined by their IEP team.
Sincerely,
Edward Pieczynski
Assistant Director of Special Education
