Students will be enrolled in the grade level based on their date of birth as determined by the CDE. If a student repeated a grade level previously, documentation must be provided by the previous school. Retention is something that must be discussed with the academic team AFTER enrollment has been completed. Please see the parent student handbook for more information.
Should the decision regarding promotion/retention/acceleration of a student be in question, the final decision of placement will be made upon completion of an SST and review of documentation and recommendation of the student’s teacher(s) and in consultation with parents. Currently enrolled students in grades 7-8 can only be retained for primarily academic purposes as deemed throughout the SST process.
During the first meeting, the student, parent/guardian, and Elite Educator will discuss and design an individual learning plan which will be utilized to lead the student towards their academic goals. You will also receive your first assignments to get started on your education with Elite!
