Louisiana’s Virtual Charter, Connections Academy, welcomes “mid-year” switching

12/8/2015

So, the holiday break is upon you and there is no avoiding one reality: Your child is miserable in their school.
           
This might not be what you wanted to concentrate on during the winter break, but it’s not uncommon.
           
In Louisiana, some families are finding the switch to a free, public virtual school meets their needs.
           
“Changing to a virtual charter school is not just a change of venue, but a change of mindset,” said Louisiana Connections Academy Principal Glenda Jones.
           
According to LACA’s research, the top reasons for switching schools mid-year usually are:
 
1.    Your child learns at a different pace—faster or slower—and the benefit of personalized learning and pacing from an online education will keep them engaged;
 
2.    The traditional classroom is not addressing your child’s needs to stay focused or recover self-esteem;
 
3.    Your child’s athletic/performance/health schedule demands the flexibility of online education.
           
“Whatever the reason, the parent finds that their child is constantly talking about the need to change schools. It’s important to listen to and respect your child’s feelings, and provide reassurance,” said Principal Jones. “Taking time to explore what options are out there and clear communications about what a school change will involve helps the transition.”
           
Louisiana Connections Academy is a K-12 school, and mid-year switches to the school are accepted, especially among junior and senior high grades.
           
More than a quarter of a million American students in grades K-12 get their education virtually. In Louisiana, 2000 students are currently enrolled in Louisiana Connections Academy.
           
“The format of virtual schooling eases the student’s adjustment period, and because learning takes place at the home computer, the physical transition is easier too for students and families,” said Principal Jones.
 
Principal Jones suggests these tips for a mid-year transition:
