Qualified applicants included students who need a more rigorous and faster-paced curriculum; and those whose test scores (AVMR and state-wide assessments) show academic proficiency.
ALPs Program is comprised of three classrooms & three teachers, with a maximum of 20 students in each classroom.
- Grades 4/5 ~ 20 Students
- Grades 6, 7, 8 ~ 40 Students (two classrooms, two teachers)
Application
Students must apply for enrollment. Completed applications must by submitted by MARCH 1st; applications are not considered if received after this date. Once the application deadline has passed, school officials review the number of qualifying candidates to determine grade level configurations. A waiting list is formed only if a lottery for placement is needed (more applications received than placements available in a classroom). You can find the application HERE.
Need to drop off something for your kiddo?
This time of year there are lots of drop offs of forgotten items to the school office (snow gear, water bottles, birthday treats, books, etc). Please try to label the item (student name and teacher) to prevent any confusion and to help get the items delivered as quickly as possible.
