Extended School Year (ESY) In-Person Learning
Description of Programs Available Through the IEP
Shelton Public Schools offers a wide range of programs and supports for students with special needs. Students in the Extended School Year program or ESY are identified through the PPT process. Extended school year means services provided beyond the length of the regular school year as described in the IEP and is provided at no cost to the parents. Eligibility for ESY must be determined each year for individual students who may be eligible to receive these services. ESY services cannot be limited to children in particular disability categories.
Classroom Information
All classes will run from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM Monday through Friday. In compliance with Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Shelton Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, marital status, or handicap in establishing and implementing hiring and employment practices and establishing and providing school activities and educational programs.
Every effort is made to maintain small class sizes. We generally strive to have 15 or fewer students per class whenever possible.
Students are expected to have their own general school supplies such as pencils, pens, notebooks, markers etc. Teachers may ask students to bring additional supplies based on the course.
Transportation is offered by the Shelton Public Schools through the PPT process. Case managers will ask you to fill out a Transportation form during the PPT. Please make sure you are very clear about where your student will be picked-up and dropped off at the end of the day. If your student requires any specialized transportation it will be indicated on the Transportation form and in the IEP.
If you choose to drive your student to Extended School/Summer Learning Program please follow the diagram on the Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures tab. There will be staff and signs to orientate you to this process.
If a child arrives late or is being picked up early, the parent must sign the child in/out at the office. A written note must accompany a child if he/she is to be dismissed to a person other than the parent. You will need to ring the buzzer at the door.
Medical Staff
There will be a nurse on staff to administer medications and address any medical concerns that may arise during the school day. If your child will be taking medication during the school day please make sure that you fill out the attached form and escort the medication to the school nurse on the July 6, the first day of school.
