Although it feels like winter has just begun, it won’t be long before school is out for the summer. The KCKPS Summer Learning Program is gearing up for another great year. Here is an early look at key pieces of information you may need to plan ahead. 

*Dates and times are tentative and may be subject to change. 

The Summer Learning Program is set to run June 5th through June 28th. Locations have not yet been established, but will be announced once confirmed. 

The program will run Monday-Thursday for all KCKPS Kindergarten-12th Grade students, including those who are moving from early childhood to kindergarten. The following times are what can be expected for the Summer Learning Program. 

High School (9-12th Grade): 7:25-2:25 Middle School (6-8th Grade): 7:50-2:55 Elementary (K-5th): 8:30-3:30 OR 9:00-4:00

Registration for the Summer Learning Program will begin on January 9th and parents or guardians will be able to complete registration using their Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The application process for staff interested in working the Summer Learning Program will open in January.

It’s never too early to start planning. More information will be coming soon. 

Information for Special Education and Extended School Year Services 

Extended School Year (ESY) services means special education and related services that are provided to a child with a disability (aged 3-21) under the following conditions:(1) Beyond the school term provided to nondisabled children; (2) in accordance with the child's IEP; and (3) at no cost to the parents of the child. IEP teams must consider ESY eligibility and need annually.  A student’s IEP team uses a data-based decision-making model to determine need for ESY and related services. The IEP developed for ESY must include goals and objectives. ESY is not the same as general education summer learning program. Not all students with IEPs need extended school year services. Students in gifted education do not qualify for ESY. KCKPS Contact for ESY:  Assistant Director of SPED Dana Nelson.
