In response to the offer of Extended School Year (ESY) services for our child, we, the parents, would like to formally document our decision to decline participation in this program. This decision has been made after careful consideration of our family's unique circumstances, and we believe that focusing on family time and fostering our child's relationships with their grandparents during the summer months is in their best interest.
As parents, we understand the importance of educational support, particularly for children who may benefit from additional services like those offered during ESY. However, we feel that our child greatly needs quality family time. The summer months present a valuable opportunity for our family to reconnect, bond, and enjoy activities together that support our child's emotional and social development.
In addition to fostering family relationships, we place a significant emphasis on our child's connection with their grandparents. This relationship plays a crucial role in our child's life, providing emotional stability and a sense of belonging that is equally important to their overall growth and well-being. We believe that spending time with their grandparents allows our child to benefit from different types of learning experiences that are not necessarily academic but are indeed enriching.
While we recognize that ESY services can provide valuable educational resources, we firmly believe that the emotional and social development our child gains from spending time with family outweighs the advantages of participating in a structured educational program at this time. We are committed to ensuring a balanced approach to their education in which emotional health and strong family bonds are prioritized.
We are open to reevaluating our decision regarding ESY services in the future; as our child grows, their needs may change. We appreciate the importance of maintaining educational continuity and assure the school that we will remain engaged in our child’s education and support their academic growth during the school year. We will seek out alternative resources or programs as needed to complement our child's learning.
We value the ongoing partnership with educators and school staff and will maintain open communication regarding our child's ongoing educational needs. Should we believe that there is a need for additional support or resources, we will not hesitate to reach out to discuss opportunities.
In summation, we respectfully decline the Extended School Year services for our child based on our family's current priorities of spending quality time together and fostering a meaningful relationship with their grandparents. Thank you for understanding our position. We trust that our decision will be respected, and we appreciate the support provided by the school and staff. We look forward to continuing to work together in the best interest of our child’s educational journey.
This statement accurately reflects our decision and the reasoning behind it. If further clarification is needed, please do not hesitate to reach out.
