San Diego Unified School District is excited to announce a variety of summer learning opportunities
so you can create the best summer experience. The window to enroll in the Summer Academic
Program, Extended School Year (ESY), and PrimeTime Summer is now open. Participation in summer programs is not required, however we
encourage families to take advantage of these fun and educational summer
enrichment opportunities available only to current San Diego Unified students.
The summer learning opportunities are no cost to San Diego Unified
families.
Families can choose from the following program options:
The elementary,
middle, and high school summer experience will support the academic and
social-emotional needs of our students. The Summer Academic Program is open to ALL currently enrolled
students including students receiving special education services. Classes are
taught by San Diego Unified educators at designated schools. Education
specialists will be assigned to sites to help support staff in meeting the
needs of all learners. The Summer Academic Program goes from June 20 through July
21, 2023.
The enrollment
window for the Summer Academic Program is February 6 through April 14, 2023. Summer academic enrollment takes place
at the students' current school of attendance. Every student
who enrolls is guaranteed a space in the Summer Academic Program.
Students
participating in the ESY/Summer Academic Program can also participate in
PrimeTime Summer or Level Up enrichment programs to create the best summer
experience. Please note students must be enrolled in the ESY/Summer
Academic Program in order to be eligible for PrimeTime Summer.
ESY services will be provided at all
open schools to students who have ESY services as part of their Individualized
Education Program (IEP). Specialized ESY programs will be provided at
pre-identified schools. Enrollment is coordinated with the student’s
current case manager. There is no enrollment deadline for ESY.
San Diego Unified’s Extended Learning
Opportunities Department is working collaboratively with the PrimeTime partner
organizations to offer a PrimeTime Summer program at elementary, UTK-8, and
middle schools offering district Summer Academic Programs. PrimeTime Summer
will provide an engaging environment where students can strengthen their academic
skills and participate in enrichment activities within the areas of Art,
Science, Music and Athletics.
The application process can be found on
the PrimeTime website. The application window is February 6 through March 3, 2023. Spaces are limited, so apply today!
Please note students
must be enrolled in the ESY/Summer Academic Program in order to be eligible for
PrimeTime Summer. Participation in PrimeTime Summer precludes enrollment in
Level Up enrichment programs.
In addition to rewarding learning
experiences from our educators, we are also partnering with the San Diego
Foundation and dozens of local nonprofits to provide students with afternoon
enrichment opportunities and week-long camps at no cost to San Diego Unified families
throughout the city. Summer Level Up enrichment programs for all district students
grades UTK-12 will be offered by our Visual
and Performing Arts (VAPA), Office of College, Career and Technical
Education
(CCTE), and community partners throughout June, July, and August 2023. Level Up
enrichment opportunities will include sports camps, STEAM- and arts-based
experiences, leadership institutes, internships, and accelerated learning
opportunities. Enrollment and more information about these programs will be
made available to families in the Spring.

being offered this summer and access applications/enrollment forms, visit our Extended Learning Opportunities website.
