INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM
What is Independent Study?
Independent Study is an alternative instructional program for students who are absent from school for even one school day as a way to maintain continuity of learning and recover absences.
How may parents get an Independent Study started?
Parents contact the school as soon as possible prior to the student’s absence to request principal approval for an Independent Study Agreement. When approved, the parents will be given an Independent Study Agreement to sign and work will be provided to the student.
How long may my student be on an Independent Study?
An Independent Study is provided for students who will be absent 1-15 cumulative days. Any absences after completing the maximum of 15 cumulative days of Independent Study do not qualify for an Independent Study.
How will my student receive the work to complete an Independent Study?
The work will be provided by the classroom teacher(s) either through google classroom or through individual work sent home to complete. Students should complete the work as soon as possible after returning from the absence.
How does my student receive credit for an Independent Study?
When the completed work is completed, the teacher(s) will review the work to determine if the work is completed satisfactorily and receive credit to recover absences.
For additional information, please contact your student’s teacher or school office.
