ESY is in session.
It's been three years since I last worked Extended School Year. Not much has changed. I recognized a lot of faces from my previous tours of duty. I'm paired with a teacher that I last worked with 9 years ago as a substitute.
The first weeks is always chaos. Today was the calm before the storm. The buses will be a mess tomorrow when the kids start. That's when the fun really begins!
It's a six hour day with kids there for five. I'm an IA (Instructional Assistant) again to avoid paperwork and too much responsibility (it is summer!). The program will last for five weeks and then I will be off again!
I am eager to meet the students. They are a very different bunch than I normally work with. Most of them are excited to be back in school. I'll get to re-familiarize myself with the Hoyer Lift, too.
