Re-Engagement Center

About Us
A genuine re-engagement center focused on the unique needs of 6th-12th grade students who are struggling to find success in their current educational setting after exhausting all interventions. Students will receive a flexible schedule and one-on-one academic assistance to successfully earn their appropriate credits/grades. In order to help students succeed, we help students identify and address the root causes of their current struggles with the end goal of returning them to their home school. Each student has an individual plan as no two stories are the same. The goal is to build an individualized plan that leads to a successful re-engagement and/or transition to either graduation or future educational opportunities.
 

Education
The re-engagement center offers students a small school option and ensures a personalized school environment. Most classes will be offered within an online format. It also offers a non-traditional approach to learning for students who thrive in a more customized route as opposed to the traditional school experience. The re-engagement center may also support students who may be:
 
  • Behind in credits
  • Dealing with medical issues
  • Dealing with social/emotional issues
  • Struggling to find success in their current educational setting
  • Dealing with life circumstances/events
  • Disengaged from their home school for a variety of reasons
 
Learning Platform
All online courses (Edgenuity)
Some students could also attend Glacier or WRHS for in-person class(es) in addition to their online platform
