Due to the high volume of registrations and extensive waitlists, we have opted to discontinue the Summer 2024 registrations. We appreciate your understanding.

Breaks & Non-School Days
2024/2025 Break & Non-School Days
ESS will be open for the fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks! During these breaks, we offer several exciting and enriching activities throughout the day. We also believe that students should have the opportunity to visit a variety of places and participate in various activities throughout San Diego County. The cost of these trips is included as part of your weekly fees.
Breaks are optional and must be signed up for separately. You must sign up for the break seasons via your Eleyo account. You may choose to use any or all sessions. If you elect to attend any of the break sessions and then discover that you do not need them after all, you must contact the ESS Billing Department at the District Offices and cancel by the cancelation date listed on the website and summer information flyer to avoid being charged. Informing the ESS site that you wish to cancel is not sufficient.
If you reserve your spot after sites are full, you will be put on a waiting list for spots as they become available. Registering before the registration deadline does not secure you a spot. Space may fill up before the deadline. Register early to avoid being waitlisted.
Traditional Break Registration Deadlines for the 24/25 School Year – Coming Soon
- Fall Break
- Winter Break
- Spring Break
- Summer Break
ESS will be open from 6 AM to 6 PM daily during the breaks. Students from other areas/districts may attend the ESS program during break time if space is available; however, students enrolled in the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District have priority.
Should a student fail to participate in the program for three or more consecutive days, their enrollment may be subject to cancellation. Given the limited availability and substantial waitlists for the ESS program, prolonged absence may lead to removal from the summer program. If your child is dropped from the program, and you wish to sign up again, your student may be placed on a waiting list if space is not available.
Effective June 17, 2024, through June 20, 2025
Includes all special assemblies and field trips. MUST pre-register and prepay on a bi-weekly basis. Fees are non-refundable.

Expanded Learning Opportunities
While at ESS, your child will have the opportunity to grow academically, socially, and physically. ESS offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities for your child to participate in throughout the school year.
We offer academic competitions for students to compete in. The competitions this year will include CHESS and a “Math 24” competition for our 3rd through 5th grade students.
Other expanded learning opportunities, including robotics, fine and performing arts, music, coding and more will be offered at every ESS program. Please speak to your ESS Site Lead for more information about program offerings.
Fifth-grade ESS students will have the chance to experience JA BizTown ™. This amazing program introduces students to economics and business through classroom instruction (provided by your ESS staff). For one day the students become adults and operate a life-size mini-municipality complete with a bank, City Hall, professional offices, radio station, T.V. station, businesses, a snack shop, and a community charity. They become doctors, business managers, real estate agents, philanthropists, and accountants. The JA BizTown ™ curriculum addresses the California State Standards and makes learning relevant for students.
ESSPN SPORTS LEAGUE – ESS and the LMSV Student Supports teams have joined forces to start a new program this school year. The program is called the “ESSPN Sports League”. The goal of the ESSPN Sports League is to teach and/or reteach social-emotional strategies and concepts through team sports. Students will participate in two days of weekly football, kickball, and/or basketball sports coaching and one day per week in Social Emotional Learning with district Social Workers. Newsletters will be linked below for more site-specific information and schedules.
3rd – 8th graders will have the ability to participate in our ESSPN program. All students must have evidence of health insurance and exhibit good behavior to be a part of their ESSPN team. Students will travel by District bus to compete against other ESS teams for games and tournaments.
