ESY eligibility is determined by the end of March, and there is no cost for participation. If a student qualifies for ESY and is also registered for one of these camps, it is the Parent/Caregiver’s decision whether to have their child participate in ESY or these summer programs. Payment links will be made available after ESY eligibility is determined so Parents/Guardians can make a decision prior to payment.
