• Independent Study (IS) K-8 Program Description

    K-8 I.S. Program is designed to fulfill the educational needs of K-8 students. I.S. is truly a commitment on the part of Parents/Guardians to meet your child’s academic needs. You are taking on the role of being their “teacher” at home by:

    1. Providing instructional and curriculum delivery support; discuss progress and success with the assigned Supervising Teacher.

    2. Completing and monitoring weekly assignments and Assignment Sheets and completed work;

    3. Filling in required Learning Logs; check weekly grades and ensure progress towards growth and improvement.

    4. Provide opportunities for Community Service. Community Service is an important component of our requirements as stated in the YCCPCS Charter.  Community Service is donated service or activity performed by students for the benefit of the public.  Every student must be actively involved, volunteering in the community two hours per week. Weekly documentation is required to earn elective hours. Parents/Guardians must sign the “Learning Log” and document hours. Refer to your Supervising Teacher for possible activities. 

    5. Attending your child’s regularly scheduled one-hour appointment with the Supervising Teacher. 

    6. Your student’s Supervising Teacher will provide the following to you and your child:

      1. Instructional materials (text/workbooks)

      2. Use of chromebooks (or computer time on-site)

      3. On-site individual and group tutoring

      4. Evaluating completed work

      5. Support with curriculum delivery and additional resources for assignments

    7. Every school day, students must participate in synchronous instruction (live sessions) with a YCCPCS Staff Member. If a student does not attend, parents/guardians will be contacted.

    8. Participation in all school-wide and state assessments (3-8)  as they are calendared. State-wide assessments will be administered outside of students designated independent study time.
