EnrollmentEnrollment with Upstream Learning is a two-part process: Registration, and development of an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) for each student. We encourage families to begin the process early, so that enrollment can be completed, and curriculum materials ordered in time for the start of the new school year in the fall. |  |
Registration
The parent/guardian completes a registration packet and submits to the Upstream Learning office. The packet includes:
Development of an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)
The ILP is an individualized and comprehensive written summary of all subjects your student will be studying during the school year. The ILP gives focus to the parent and student for the year ahead, informs the contact teacher of what each student is studying, and identifies the responsible use of state funding. Parents may use existing curriculum programs, or may design their own course, using a Parent Designed Course Form (PDC).
The parent and the contact teacher meet together to plan and/or finalize the ILP, and both sign the form. Older students are encouraged to participate in this meeting and contribute input as well. The ILP can be completed anytime prior to the beginning of the school year, and allotment funds can then be accessed. The ILP must be in place by October 1st.
