Parents will receive a parent login to monitor the progress of all their students in one place.  From the parent account all curriculum, calendar events, assignment due dates, and gradebooks are accessible as well as an internal email system to communicate directly with teachers.  It is very important that parents login daily to check for any messages from the teachers and see what work the student has completed or still needs to do. There is also a K12 App that allows you quickly track student progress and contact school staff. 

SVA offers personalized learning for students of all abilities.  For a student with a current IEP, a special education case manager will work with the parent and team to review the IEP during the registration process and determine whether IEP goals can be met in this setting and then determine how best to deliver those services.

Students of all ability levels can attend SVA! All students in Alternative Learning Experience schools have an Individualized Learning Plan which customizes the courses and learning goals for every student. For highly capable students, this typically means placing students into a course or multiple courses that are above their current grade level, and at the middle school gives students the opportunity to take classes that earn high school credit early.

Yes. Shared enrollment between SVA and our NTPS neighborhood schools is possible. For instance, a student may choose to take orchestra and welding at their local high school while taking math, English, science and social studies at SVA. The maximum total number of classes a student can take is 6. Please note that due to bussing schedules, the parent would need to provide transportation to the neighborhood school for the class periods the student would need to be on campus.

See our Academics page for more information about shared enrollment.

“Remote Learning” in NTPS was developed specifically in response to the COVID Pandemic and the need to close school buildings, but still educate our students. While students worked from a home setting, instruction and learning was a continuation of what would typically happen in the classroom if buildings were open. School district adopted curriculum for the traditional classroom was adapted by staff for students to use while working remotely.

SVA is a new Online School option in the district for students who thrive in the online environment and is a robust academic experience that does not try to replicate the traditional classroom experience, but rather provides students access to innovative, interactive, online curriculum designed to be delivered in a virtual learning environment.

In traditional homeschooling, parents choose the curricula, set the schedule, and hold primary responsibility for instructing their children. Students attending SVA are attending regular public school from the home setting. Like any other public school, the district sets the calendar and daily schedule, chooses the curricula, and district teachers are responsible for instructing students and measuring student achievement.
