2021 Summer Programming

Update as of July 8, 2021 - 4:00 p.m.

We received notification from the Department of Health that students in summer school/summer programming will no longer be required to wear masks during classes. The change in mask restrictions currently only applies to summer and we are expecting to receive additional information on the requirements for 2021-22 very soon. Unvaccinated staff are still required to wear a face covering at all times while indoors and students who are unvaccinated are encouraged to continue mask wearing (although the guidance from the State does not require it for unvaccinated students).

Masks are still required for unvaccinated students on buses (per DOH guidance). They are strongly recommended for unvaccinated students in classes but are not required. Unvaccinated staff are required to wear masks when indoors (including on buses).


The Elmira City School District recognizes summer as an extension of the school year and as a time to provide important academic and social enrichment programs to our students in greatest need. Summer learning provides opportunities for greater health and well-being for children and young people. We've planned our summer programming on the simple idea that summer—a time that is critical to educational development—is bursting with possibility.

Summer of Innovation for Students in Grades 2-12

Several organizations from across the Southern Tier have united to offer unique learning opportunities for children and young adults during the summer months. These organizations have a common goal of extending the traditional school year into a third summer semester. Our offerings have another purpose as well - to provide students with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills that are essential to their success in the future.
