Looking for a summer program that incorporates academics, social skills, counseling, speech, occupational therapy (OT), and summer fun for your child with special needs? The Calais School currently accepting applications for our Extended School Year (ESY) program! ESY is open to students in private, public, and parochial schools looking for a summer program to meet their unique needs as well as current Calais School students.

ESY helps keep current students on the road to success, eases the transition for new students for the 2014-15 school year, and offers special education students currently attending in-district programs a fun and interactive curriculum designed with their needs in mind. This half-day program features the same safe, nurturing environment students experience at Calais throughout the year and will run from July 1st through August 12th, 2014.

Highlights of last year’s ESY program included “mad” science presentations, music and dance performances, and field trips to FunPlex.  High school students also benefited from college placement test preparation and career exploration programs in movie making, digital arts, floriculture/landscape design, child care, general office occupations, & culinary arts.

Classes are taught by special education teachers and are enhanced by additional support services, including speech classes, occupational therapy, counseling, and school nurse services.

For more information on how your student can participate in this innovative and interactive program, contact Kristy Hartman at 973-884-2030 ext. 265 or speak with your case manager at your child’s IEP meeting. Students do not need to be current Calais students to enroll. We look forward to your student joining the fun!
