Digital Learning Academy

Digital Learning Academy (DLA)

The Digital Learning Academy (DLA) provides educational services during a transitional placement. Eductional services include both academic and social/emotional instruction and support. Placements at the DLA are temporary, typically one semester or less. Once complete, students typically transition back to their home school or a more permanent alternative setting. The DLA is best suited for secondary students.

• We believe that the Digital Learning Academy is a positive, safe, and tolerant educational environment.
• We believe that learning increases when we keep students academically engaged and socially involved in a small supportive school community.
• We believe that DLA provides academic and social enrichment opportunities that foster soft skills that are vital to school and life success.
• We believe in the concept of alternative environment rather than alternative rules.
• Clear boundaries, expectations, and management strategies are explained to students and parents during orientation.
• Management strategies and interventions will be implemented fairly and consistently.
• We believe that parent involvement is important to student success and we seek a collaborative partnership with all of our parents.
• We expect parents to attend an intake meeting to receive information about DLA and its policies.
• We believe in open lines of communication between DLA staff members and the parents we serve.
