Parents/Guardians

The goal of the ELO program is to provide a pathway for students to design their own meaningful and relevant learning experiences by meeting their diverse learning styles, talents, and interests.

Your child has expressed an interest in an ELO experience. These experiences may be scheduled during the school day, after school, weekends, or during school vacations depending on the nature of the work and the student’s schedule.

To learn more about ELOs, please peruse the website or watch our promotional video.
