FCPS Summer Services Descriptions
ESY Services – No Fee
ESY services are provided only to students whose
IEP team has determined that such services are
required to ensure that the student will not significantly
jeopardize gains made during the 180-day school
year. All ESY services and transportation are provided
free of charge as a part of the student’s access
to a free, appropriate public education (FAPE),
in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities
Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004. For more information
regarding summer ESY services, please see Summer
ESY 2009
SOL Remediation for
Eighth Grade Reading and Math – No Fee
Reinforcing Foundations, an SOL remediation program
for high school students working towards a Modified
Standard Diploma, will be offered free of charge
at the Secondary ESY Learning Community site. Elementary and Middle
School Intervention Programs – No Fee
Many elementary and middle schools will offer 3 week
intervention programs to provide targeted literacy
and numeracy instruction. These programs are open
by principal invitation to all students (including
those with disabilities) who meet the criteria established
by each school. In past years, these criteria have
included such things as failure to pass SOL tests
and/or courses, enrollment in a targeted grade level,
reading level, etc. Questions about these programs
should be directed to the school principal. High School Content
Classes – Fee Required
Each high school will offer courses for credit remediation
and SOL remediation. These courses will take place
at the base school or at partner sites when necessary
due to low enrollment. These courses are designed
for students who failed to meet course requirements
by the end of the term, and need additional time/remediation
to master core required skills. All students, including
those with disabilities, may participate in these
small group classes for a fee. In addition, new courses
may be taken online through the FCPS online campus,
for a fee. Direct special education services will
not be available for new courses or credit remediation,
but teacher consultation regarding strategies or
accommodations will be provided. Questions regarding
registration for these options should be addressed
to the student’s assigned counselor. ESY Learning Community Summer Services, Descriptions, Sites and Feeder Schools more information >
