DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO RETURN TO IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION OR ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS?
Parents/Guardians have the right to request a student/parent/educator conference to ask questions before making a decision about enrollment or disenrollment in options for this school year.
If you wish for your child to attend Independent Study at Lemoore High School (559-924-6600) or Jamison High School (559-924-6620), please contact the school office for an appointment. If you wish for your child to attend Lemoore Online College Preparatory High School, please contact Bryan Rice at (559) 925-3433. To enroll in any of these programs, there musts be an agreement in place for your student that is signed by the student and parent/legal guardian. If you wish to have your child return to in-person instruction during the school year, you may provide notice to the site where they are enrolled and they will be returned to in-person instruction no later than five instructional days after notification. Students may be enrolled in Independent Study at any time during the 2020-21 school year.
Independent Study programs will provide opportunities for at least weekly synchronous instruction (classroom style instruction, or small group, or one-on-one instruction delivered in person or by internet or phone and involving two-way communication between the student and teacher.
Please let us know as soon as possible so that we have accurate enrollment numbers to plan for the new school year.
PLEASE NOTE: For students with exceptional needs, the IEP must specifically provide for Independent Study before the student can begin participating in the program.
