ADMISSION - The E.S.S. program is open to students grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Students must attend the E.S.S. of their home school, space permitting. Application may be picked up at the E.S.S. building. 

REGISTRATION - A completed registration packet and any fees due must be received prior to entry into the E.S.S. program.

FEES - Please click on link to the left for monthly breakdown.
**There is a registration fee per family per year and a re-entry fee after dropping from the program for any length of time.

Summer Program Fees: Monthly tuition includes all field trip admission fees, guest speakers, summer t-shirt, tote bag, and an afternoon snack. Fees are due on the first day of each month. A late fee will be assessed if payment is not received after the 20th of the month. The E.S.S. program is self supporting and financially independent of the Poway Unified School District.

MINIMUM DAY / TIME BANKING: WWES has no time-banking.

DISTRICT RECESS/BREAK RATE - Per day fees. Registration for all breaks and recesses is for the entire recess or break duration. (No single days)

SIGNING IN & OUT - Students must be signed in and out of E.S.S. daily. Only an authorized person with a picture I.D. can sign a child out of E.S.S. Your child is expected at E.S.S. each day. Please notify us whenever your child WILL NOT attend E.S.S.

VACATION & ABSENCES - Monthly fees can be prorated only when a two-week notice has been given on a "Fee Adjustment Request" form. Credit is given in five-day increments only and each child is allowed two weeks per school year, excluding President's Week and Spring Break (these are optional attendance time frames). If you choose to extend the two-week allotment, a withdrawal from the program is required. There are no refunds for absences due to illness or partial attendance. Please email Ms. Heather, Ms. Maya and Ms. Jackie if your student will be absent from ESS.

ILLNESS & MEDICATION - If your child is not feeling well, please do not send him/her to E.S.S. Students who have been ill must be well and fever free, for 24 hours before returning to E.S.S. or school. If your child becomes ill or suspected to be contagious, you will be notified to pick him/her up promptly. It is very important that you keep us updated on changes in work, home, cell, and emergency phone numbers. 

E.S.S. will administer medication (prescription or non-prescription) to students only if a PUSD "Authorization for Medical Administration" form has been completed by a physician and parent. All medication must be in the original container. Sunscreen, chap-stick and non-medicated cough drops need only the parent's portion of the form filled in and signed.
