Dear [Principal's Name] / [Special Education Coordinator's Name],
We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to formally decline the offer for Extended School Year (ESY) services for our child, [Child's Full Name], who is currently enrolled in [Grade or Program Name at School]. After careful consideration, we have decided that the time during the ESY period will be better spent focusing on family and nurturing valuable relationships with extended family members, particularly their grandparents.
In our family, we place a strong emphasis on the importance of maintaining and nurturing close family ties. We believe that spending quality time with relatives, especially grandparents, enhances our child's emotional well-being and contributes positively to their overall development. This time allows our child to forge significant memories that will last a lifetime.
During this crucial stage of development, we feel that it is essential for our child to engage in social activities with family, which helps cultivate a sense of belonging and security. The bond that our child is able to share with grandparents will provide them with a strong support system, essential for fostering resilience and positive relationships throughout life.
Furthermore, while we recognize the value of the ESY programs being offered, we are committed to providing our child with alternative learning experiences during this summer. Our family has planned various activities that provide educational value outside of the classroom, including visits to museums, nature hikes, and family projects that encourage creativity and critical thinking. We strongly believe that this experiential learning will be beneficial and enriching for our child.
We understand that we must formally document our decision, and we appreciate the school's efforts in preparing for the upcoming year. We kindly ask you to confirm receipt of this letter and to respond regarding any necessary forms or additional documentation that may be required for the declination of ESY services for our child.
Should there be any further discussions or meetings that you believe are crucial to address, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are open to collaborating with you and the educational team to ensure a successful year ahead, even while declining the ESY services.
We appreciate the dedication and care that the faculty and staff exhibit towards our child and all students within the school. Our choice to decline the ESY is a deeply considered decision based on our understanding of our child's unique needs and family values. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Relationship to the Child]
