STARS Academy

STARS Academy K-5
Students are assigned to the K-5 elementary alternative program by the Elementary Disciplinary Review Committee. Administrators at the local schools refer elementary students who commit Class III offenses to the Central Office to determine if an alternative placement is warranted. Students are assigned for 30 days but may remain longer based on attendance, behavior and grades while assigned and progress made toward correcting the behavior. Instruction is a blend of direct instruction from a HQ teacher as well as technology-enhanced instruction. Students receive wrap around services while assigned including counseling, social services support and other services by program design.
