OK2SAY Safety Initiative

Are You a Successful Countryside Academy Student?

 

Do you want to be? Is making positive decisions hard for you? Do you forget to turn in your homework on time? Do you find yourself getting in trouble with your teacher or other adults or students? Regardless how hard it is to make positive choices, the bottom line is, what you do today will affect your tomorrow. Ask your parents, guardians, positive role models, teachers and the counselor for help on being a better you.

 

Make the right choices, be kind to others, help other people, get involved and be proud.

Personal Curriculum

Personal Curriculums exist to modify specific credit requirements and/or content expectations based on the individual learning needs of a student.  They are designed to allow the Board of Directors to award a regular high school diploma provided the student completes the requirements of the PC, including as many of the content expectations of the Michigan Merit Curriculum as practicable.  A PC may be appropriate for a student who has demonstrated one or more of the following:

    1. The ability or desire to access advanced or specialized content that cannot be met through elective courses.)
    2. The ability to succeed in accelerated or advanced math, science, English language arts, world languages, or career and technical education.
    3. The academic need to modify the second semester of the Algebra II credit requirement.
A parent, legal guardian, emancipated student or school personnel may request a PC at any time.   One a request is made, a PC committee comprised of the student, parents/guardians (or only the student in event that the student is emancipated), Counselor and Principal, will meet to develop the PC. The school is obligated to develop a PC for the student, but is not obligated to approve or enact it.  The PC must be aligned to the student’s Educational Development Plan (EDP.)
