The major objective of Independent Study is to provide a voluntary educational alternative for students.  Parents are always welcome and invited to attend the virtual coaching sessions with their child’s supervising teacher.  Usually students are more successful when parents are involved.  Parent/guardian responsibilities include:

 

⦁Supervise and review their child’s daily work, assignments and student evaluations

⦁Ensure that their child attends his/her virtual coaching sessions

⦁Confer regularly with the supervising teacher to discuss their child’s progress

⦁Review student’s Personalized Learning Plan
