Extended Student Services (ESS)

ESS Enrollment Information:

Thank you so much for your interest in Midland's ESS program!

Applications to the ESS program are centrally managed by the District Office, Before/After School Department through a single application and interest list.

Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment in ESS. It is anticipated that the demand for ESS services may exceed the program capacity at most schools.

Applicants are accepted into the program based on a state implemented priority criteria system outlined on ESS webpage, up to the capacity for each school's program.
