Extended School
Year Program

We offer many programs that build the appropriate supports for each individual student enrolled in a New Story School, such as our Extended School Year (ESY) program. Upon conclusion of the school year, we provide this program to those students who qualify.

What is ESY

Interruptions in the school schedule, such as summer break, can result in students losing acquired skills. It can take a long time to get those skills back once school resumes. Extended School Year activities focus on the maintenance of current skills and IEP goals during the summer break. Our ESY program provides academic instruction and behavioral supports, as well as other related services to help support students in maintaining their skills.

Who Qualifies

Qualification for the ESY program varies by state and/or school district. To learn more about ESY and see if your current student qualifies, please contact their teacher. For more information about the program in general, please contact us Click to send us your questions and comments or find out how to contact us..
