Orientation Process
Orientation Process
New students and at least one parent or guardian are required to attend an orientation prior to starting classes at S. William Abel Academy (SWAA). Orientations will be scheduled once an appropriate referral and all registration paperwork has been received.
During orientation, students and parents will:
- Be asked to check all completed registration paperwork for accuracy.
- Be introduced to SWAA and the opportunities that students are afforded.
- Review the student handbook and then sign indicating that they understand and are willing to comply with all rules, expectations, and policies.
Once these steps have been completed, each student will be scheduled into classes and will start school on the established start date following orientation. Staff will request records, review transcripts, behavior and any other pertinent information to design each student’s program for a more successful transition. Once enrolled, student academic assessments will be scheduled during the student’s first week of attendance. This will assist in the placement of students into appropriate classes. Each student and their parent will have the opportunity to review student transcripts and participate in the development of and Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
