Notes from our Director of Academics

Greetings WrPA Families and Guardians,

Just a reminder, we have sent our report cards. If your scholar did not bring them home, please call the school. We will also be sending home bi-weekly progress reports of how your scholar is doing academically, if you do not receive one, please reach out to the school and we will send one home.

We have some upcoming assessments beginning in February for grades 2-8. Please keep reading and practicing math with your scholars daily. This doesn’t necessarily mean the homework your scholar brings home. This could be done in the form of a chapter book you read together, a trip to the library, going to museums, or science centers. Below are some online resources you can check out:

  • K-5 Learning
  • Khan Academy
  • Prodigy
  • DreamScape
  • OST Airportal

Stay safe and warm this snowy season!

-Mrs. Bilinovich
Director of Academics

Reminders

School hours are from 8:30am to 3:40pm. Attendance is very important.

By attending class regularly, your child is more likely to keep up with daily lessons and assignments and take quizzes and tests on time. Research has shown that your child’s regular attendance may be the greatest factor influencing his/her academic success.

School Office hours are from 7:30am to 3:15pm.

The ACCEL Schools Difference

We are a proud member of ACCEL Schools—a public charter school network serving thousands of PK-12 students throughout the United States. ACCEL was founded in 2012 by the early pioneers of online learning. Our leadership believes that all children, regardless of location or socio-economic background, deserve a quality education that prepares them to succeed in school and become productive global citizens.  

ACCEL Schools Instructional Model provides: 

  • Aligned Academics meet or exceed state standards ensuring your child is on track for rigorous college and career opportunities.    
  • Certified, Licensed Teachers and a student-centered staff are united in executing our mission to make a difference in the life trajectory of each student.    
  • More Time on Task and double the instructional minutes for ELA and Math maximizes learning in your child’s school day.   
  • Short Cycle Assessments keep track of how students are progressing in the program, giving teachers ongoing feedback so they can tailor instruction to your student’s needs.    
  • Individualized Instruction driven by assessment data means we are familiar with the needs of each child and set students up for success in each course of study.    
  • State Testing Preparation reduces the anxiety often associated with high stakes tests, helping our teachers and students feel confident with the structure and methodology of state exams.    
  • Academic Support including education technology, interventional specialists, and instructional aides assist students during the school day. After school tutoring, summer school, and Saturday school programs extend support services beyond the traditional school day and year.   
  • Extracurricular Courses & Activities round out our educational offerings providing students social-emotional learning, athletics, arts, service learning & more.
