Spring Break 2025 (April 7 – 17)
ESS will be closed on Friday, April 18, 2025, in observance of the spring holiday.
Breaks & 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 Office and cancel by the cancellation dates listed on the website and break information flyers 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.
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.
