Summer Programs

What services does Jordan Public Schools offer in the summer?

Jordan offers many different summer services for students in grades PreK through grade 12. These services include...

Targeted Services (Academic and Social Emotional Learning)
Extended School Year (ESY)
Credit Recovery

Targeted Services:

Targeted Services provides academic and social-emotional (SEL) support for qualifying students in grades 1-8 during the summer months. The main goal for Targeted Services is to reinforce and support the academic and social-emotional skills students learn during the school year. This program brings classroom standards alive through inquiry-based learning. Students can also receive SEL support through field trips and real life application of their skills.

Extended School Year or ESY SpEd:

Jordan Public Schools provides quality extended school year (ESY) services. A student can qualify for ESY in three ways:

Regression/Recoupment: A student qualifies for ESY if there is documented significant regression of skills or acquired knowledge from the student’s level of performance on at least one annual goal that requires more than the length of the break in instruction to recoup the level of performance.
Self-Sufficiency: A student qualifies for ESY when he or she receives instruction in functional skills, has functional skills identified in the current IEP, and is not making reasonable progress towards self-sufficiency. These functional skills may include basic self-help (toileting, feeding, dressing), development of stable relationships with peers and adults, functional academic competency (basic reading and writing skills, concepts of time and money, and numerical or temporal relationships), basic communication, physical mobility, muscular control, personal hygiene, and impulse control.
Unique Need: A student qualifies for ESY if the team determines that given the student’s unique need, ESY services are necessary to ensure the student receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE).

The need for ESY services must be determined annually on an individual basis by the Individual Education Program (IEP) team.

The Jordan Public Schools Special Services Department takes PRIDE in having highly qualified staff who meet our district mission of "inspiring a caring community to ignite learning, innovation, and success for all."

Jordan High School offers credit recovery (summer school) for students in grades 9-12. Students who qualify to attend credit recovery sessions during the summer will receive a letter from Jordan High School with more information.
