Utica
Community Schools Virtual Academy begins accepting applications April 19
The
Utica Community Schools Virtual Academy will begin accepting applications on
April 19 for families seeking a virtual learning option featuring the
district’s nationally recognized academic programs.
“Our
Virtual Academy offers the choice to combine the district’s educational
excellence in a virtual environment,” Interim Superintendent Robert Monroe
said. “We are proud to now offer the academy as part of the Utica Community
Schools portfolio of options that meet our students’ unique needs and interests.”
Families
interested in the program can learn more at a virtual informational night at 7
p.m. on Thursday, April 15. Pre-registration is recommended for the event,
which will allow parents to receive an overview of the program and participate
in a virtual Question and Answer period.
The
virtual academy gives families virtual access to K-12 programs offered through
the Utica Community Schools, including core elementary and specials and
secondary elective and required courses.
Students can participate in extra-curricular activities, including
marching band and athletics, through their home schools.
The
program is open to UCS families and those wishing to enroll through
Schools of Choice who reside in Macomb, St. Clair, Wayne, Lapeer and Oakland counties.
This
year, more than 5,000 students were part of the inaugural year of the academy.
“This
has been an amazing opportunity for my family,” said parent Meghan Ciacchella,
who has two students in the program. “This program is distraction-free, education-focused
and it provides students with unique 21st century skills.”
The
initial enrollment period for next year’s program will be open from April 19
through May 2.
