Extended School Year (ESY) Services

Extended School Year (ESY) is a way to help students with disabilities maintain their skills even when school is not in session. ESY can help students with disabilities get the education they deserve and not forget what they learned. To qualify for ESY, the IEP will discuss three required areas to determine eligibility.

​

  1.  Impact of Break in Service on Critical Skills

  2. Degree of Regression of Critical Skill

  3. Time Required for Recoupment of Critical Skill

 

 If the student meets the criteria for the three areas, the IEP team will add ESY to the student’s IEP.   The IEP team must consider the need for ESY for every student, every year. If you have any questions, please contact dcps.esy@k12.dc.gov or visit us at https://dcpsstrong.com/summer/.
