Update: Onsite High School Classes
Our high school students are back on campus and enjoying learning! We want to highlight an important attendance policy for our high school's onsite classes.
Because onsite classes only meet once per week, attendance is crucial. While onsite classes are not a requirement, they do provide a unique opportunity to enhance your education. A commitment to attend regularly is expected. If a student misses more than three classes in a given semester, the student will be automatically withdrawn from the onsite course.
We know how important it is for each student to be in class, committed, and ready to participate so that they can fully benefit from this wonderful educational opportunity. Please contact the Associate Director, Alton Seyford (alton.seyford@vistaoaks.net) or the Executive Director, Joy Groen (joy.groen@vistaoaks.net) if you have any questions.
