Burbank ESY Summer

Extended school year (ESY) services are special education and related services that are provided to a student with a disability beyond the regular school year (during the summer) in accordance with the student’s IEP. 

Oakland Unified School District offers ESY when a student with an IEP demonstrates greater than expected regression of skills over a long school break and shows limited ability to relearn the skills, or when the student is at a critical stage of development such that an interruption would have lasting impact on IEP goal progress. 

For students with profound disabilities, ESY is offered to maintain progress toward goals that are essential to the student’s continued progress. 

The need for ESY services must be determined annually and on an individual basis by the IEP team. ESY is not a means to develop or enhance new skills and is not a substitute for other summer learning experiences that may be available through OUSD’s general education program. Your student’s ESY services are outlined in their IEP. 

ESY programs and services are located across the district. Your student’s ESY service location may not be at the same school as during the regular school year. ESY location is assigned by the district. You will be notified of your student’s ESY location approximately one month before the start date. 

For OUSD Early Childhood special education programs and services in operation during ESY, all services will be provided at Burbank Preschool, which is located at 3550 64th Avenue. 

After you complete your application, your child will be assigned to either a morning or afternoon group on the basis of class availability. 

• Morning group - 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
• Afternoon group - 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

You will be notified of your class assignment approximately one month prior to ESY beginning. 

Programs offered at the Burbank Preschool include Mild-Moderate Support Needs Program, Moderate/Extensive Support Needs Program, and Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program. 

Note that there is no afterschool program (after 2 p.m.) for PreK/TK students attending ESY.
