ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION

  • Students enrolled in APD must attend regularly and may not exceed three (3) unexcused absences per semester.
  • If a student misses more than three unexcused APDs, they may be moved to the virtual academic program instead.
  • Absences due to illness or appointments must be reported to the designated teacher at the student’s campus.

TRANSPORTATION & LUNCH

  • Students are responsible for their own transportation to campus and field trip locations.
  • Lunch is not provided; students must bring their own.
