Do you currently have access to the Internet at home?
If you answered "No" to the previous question, and your student is enrolled in one of these virtual learning programs, do you plan to obtain Internet service at home?
Please enter a brief explanation or reason why you are requesting online learning for this student.
The Home-Based Virtual Learning Program is done through the home-based school, and the student will login to his/her courses at the regularly scheduled time to participate in "real-time", live instruction with the class through a virtual platform. If the student does not login during the regularly scheduled time, the student will be counted absent. There is not much difference between the home-based virtual learning program and the traditional learning experience, except that the student does ALL the learning virtually.
Please complete a separate application for each student enrolling in online learning.
Ascension Public Schools is offering two options for online learning this school year. Please see the descriptions below and then indicate in which program you are choosing to enroll your student.
OPTION 1:
The Blended Learning Program is done through APPLe Digital Academy and has been in existence in our district since 2013. The student is still considered a student at his/her home school. All instruction is done through an online software program and may be supplemented with lessons designed by teachers at APPLe. The student has flexibility of when he/she will login to complete coursework. A certain percentage of work must be done each week by the student for attendance purposes. Students may report to the APPLe campus at designated times to receive assistance and interventions from APPLe teachers and must take all tests at the APPLe Digital Academy in Sorrento.
OPTION 2:

Please note that not having access to the Internet does not disqualify you from these programs. The district will attempt to provide you with Internet access, whether it be through a mobile hotspot or other means.
