On July 1, 2022, The State Department of Education started to utilize a new system which will provide scholar’s and their families/guardians access to their scholar’s IEP and other information that is vital to their academic success. Please see the link below for more information:
Extended School Year (ESY) is special education and/or related services provided beyond the regular school year. ESY is provided for those scholars who currently have an IEP and who will be severely impacted by an extended break in specialized instruction. Eligibility for ESY must be determined each year at a PPT.

At Jumoke Academy, we believe every scholar deserves the support, resources, and opportunities needed to thrive. Our Student Services team partners with scholars, families, educators, and service providers to support individual learning needs, language development, health, and overall well-being.
Individualized services and resources designed to support eligible scholars and their families.
Language development support that helps multilingual scholars strengthen their English proficiency and access grade-level learning.
School-based health services, screenings, health documentation, medication support, and wellness resources.
Every scholar learns differently. Jumoke Academy is committed to providing eligible scholars with individualized special education and related services that support meaningful access to learning and academic success.
Families are essential partners in this process. Our team works collaboratively with parents and guardians, educators, and service providers to identify scholar strengths and needs and develop appropriate supports through the Planning and Placement Team (PPT) process.
Services and supports are individualized and may include specially designed instruction, accommodations, modifications, and related services as identified in a scholar’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Jumoke Academy’s Health Services team supports the physical health, safety, wellness, and academic success of our scholars.
Our school nurses provide direct care while partnering with families, school staff, and healthcare providers to help ensure scholars are healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Services include assessment of illness and injury, medication administration, emergency response, health screenings, immunization monitoring, health documentation, chronic health condition support, and health education.
Our elementary school nurse, Nurse Chung, plays a vital role in supporting the health, wellness, and academic success of our scholars and our Jumoke families. Beyond providing daily care, she serves as a trusted health advocate, managing scholar triage, administering medications, responding to emergencies, and ensuring scholars are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
Nurse Chung also works diligently to maintain compliance with State Department of Health requirements, including immunization monitoring, health screenings, documentation, and follow-up care. Through prevention, education, and compassionate support, Nurse Chung helps create a strong foundation for lifelong wellness across our Jumoke school community.
