• How do I enroll my student?

• What must I bring to the initial appointment with the Independent Study Teacher?
  Students need to bring their withdrawal form and official transcripts to the initial ISP teacher appointment. Parents must also attend the appointment as this is when the student is enrolled in classes and assigned textbooks. The student should turn in the completed orientation assignment, which is worth two elective credits (if completed thoroughly). This will provide the ISP teacher with a valuable introduction to the student.
  
  
• Does the school provide textbooks?
  As stated above, the ISP teacher will check out textbooks after the initial appointment. Textbooks are always required in class and at all ISP appointments. Failure to bring textbooks may result in academic probation, suspension, or release from our program. You must present your ID card in order to check out books.

  The Elk Grove Charter School offers both a comprehensive high school diploma and an alternative education diploma. Both diplomas require completion of a minimum of 220 credits. These diplomas are explained, in detail, in the orientation assessment and in the Parent/Student Handbook available in the links to the left.
