Transition Planning 

Upon registration, please let the registrar know that you are active in the military. Once registration is complete, the students will be led by a member of our student-led transition team on a tour of our school.

Academic Planning 

Each of our instructional coaches works to ensure all students are growing academically. Any students who are not responding well to Tier I instruction will be referred to our MTSS team to come up with interventions to address any gaps in learning. Our 7th and 8th grade students will receive additional academic support and planning in their Cyber Foundations classes and through academic career planning with the school counselor.
