Question | Answer |
|---|---|
May my home instructed child apply for admission to Monroe Technology Center? | Courses at Monroe Technology Center exceed the credit maximum allotted to home instructed students and are therefore not offered. |
May my child apply for admission to the Academy of Loudoun? | Students accepted into the Academy of Loudoun must be full-time LCPS students and must remain so while taking courses at the Academy of Loudoun. |
My child is enrolled part-time at the high school which serves my residence. May s/he try out for a sports team or participate in Virginia High School League extra-curricular activities? | Part-time students may not participate in extra-curricular activities, such as those sponsored by the Virginia High School League (athletics, debate, forensics, One Act Plays, etc.). |
My child is enrolled in the band class at the high school which serves my residence. The band director requires students to perform at football games. May my child attend these performances? | Yes, part-time students must enroll in co-curricular activities that are required as a result of enrollment in certain courses (orchestra, band, chorus, drama, etc.) |
My child’s age would place her in 6th grade, but she is working on a 7th grade curriculum. Can she apply for part-time enrollment? | No. We know that some students may be working at an advanced pace; however, students must also fit into the academic and social expectations of the high school credit class. Students should fall within the appropriate age bracket to enroll part-time. |
