• Parent submits a
Extension School application • An Extension
School teacher will contact the family to conduct
an interview. • The teacher
submits the application and interview documentation
to the superintendent for review. • The district will
make a decision to approve or deny enrollment
within 2 weeks of receiving the application
documents. • An Extension School teacher will notify parents of the district's decision. • Who may
enroll? Any Alaskan of school age who does not have a high school diploma or GED certificate may apply to enroll. CSD accepts enrollment from students who are 5-years old by September 1st and under 22 years of age prior to the beginning of the school year. Additionally, students who are 4-years old by September 1st qualify for enrollment at a reduced allotment rate for core courses. (Although the district receives no funding for Pre-K students, we recognize the benefit of an early start.) • Cost of
Enrollment - CSD is a public school district,
and therefore, there is no cost to
enroll. • Enrollment
Period - Students continuing their education
with CSD who have exhibited adequate progress
receive priority enrollment status for the
following school year. New families may begin
enrolling for the next school year as early as
March 1st. Enrollment continues until the end of
October or until capacity is reached. • Enrollment
Status Full-time
Enrollment - Students who enroll with CSD on a full-time basis are considered to be full-time students and will receive a full funding allotment. In accordance with 4 AAC 33.426: A student enrolled in a statewide correspondence program, whether full-time or part-time, must take at least 50 percent of his/her coursework through the statewide correspondence program, in core courses. A student must be enrolled in at least 4 courses to be considered full-time. Part-time
Enrollment - Students may elect to enroll concurrently with CSD and another public school or private school for part time enrollment. In this instance, the funding allotment from CSD will be reduced based on the percentage of time the student is enrolled in another school. Private
School Enrollment - CSD will support a
family's desire to choose some classes for
the child from a private school. Full or
part time enrollment will be determined by
the number of classes the student is
enrolled in. Families are encouraged to discuss all enrollment options with their advisory teacher. Please note that by enrolling dually with CSD and another school your allotment will be reduced based on hours or credits attended at the other school. • Traveling
& Out of State Students - Students who may
need to leave the state for an extended period of
time less than one year in duration are considered
a traveling student. Traveling students must notify
their advisory teacher of their plans, retain a
permanent Alaska address and contact name, and
abide by all participation requirements and
expectations. Families living or traveling outside
the state temporarily may remain enrolled with CSD
for only one additional year, providing that you
have lived in the state in the year prior to
travel. • Re-enrollment/Withdrawal
- To be eligible for re-enrollment for the next
school year, students must be making good progress
in their content areas as determined by the
Advisory Teacher. Families may be withdrawn by CSD
at any time during the year based on any one of the
following situations:
• Extended
period of noncompliance to CSD
requirements; or • Lack of
response to multiple contact attempts by
CSD staff; or • Failure
to turn-in required paperwork;
or • Failure
to participate in State-mandated or
district assessments; or • Failure
to implement district recommended
strategies to assist students in preparing
for State-mandated assessments who lack
progress in Basic Skill areas on the State
assessments or Chugach Levels;
or • Failure
to abide by any of the policies or
procedures set forth in the CSD Home
Extension School Handbook. • Student
records - Each student has a permanent file
that contains a student's progress report, test
scores, and the like. One copy of the permanent
file is kept in the Extension office and a second
copy is kept in the District Office in Anchorage.
Copies of the permanent record are sent to another
school if you change districts. • Quarterly
reports - In accordance with state regulations, students enrolled in the Extension School must submit quarterly work samples demonstrating student progress in language arts and math. • Monthly
contact - In accordance with state regulations,
your advisory teacher will contact parents/students
on at least one occasion every month and document
this monthly communication with parents/students.
Communication may consist of electronic mail,
letters. Phone calls, family gatherings, home or
office visits, etc. • Graduation - CSD assesses student progress according to developmental levels in each of the 10 content areas. A student wishing to earn a high school diploma from CSD must demonstrate proficiency in all content areas and also have passed all four sections of the Alaska High School Graduation Qualifying Exam. (HSGQE) The graduation levels for each student are indicated on the developmental report card. Students can earn additional credit for courses that go beyond the graduation level.
