COVID NEWS & UPDATES
We Miss You! We look forward to seeing you soon.
Due to the coronavirus, we are currently assessing all safe and healthy methods of instructional delivery for the opening of school in the fall.
Safety protocols are being engineered this summer to keep students healthy and safe from the COVID-19 virus once school is back in session. Plexiglass is being installed throughout the school, social distance plans will minimize risk and maximize peace of mind for students, staff, and parents. Our sanitizing protocol will prevent the spread of this virus, as well as seasonal flu that often spread quickly in schools.

We will be serving five lunches and five breakfasts on Monday mornings and Wednesday mornings from 8 am until noon. Please stop by or have a parent or friend stop by to pick up your food for the week.

SAFE. SUPPORTED. SUCCESSFUL.
At Ascend, we are there for our students as a support system and as their advocates. With our blended learning model, students learn at their own pace using our online Apex curriculum, while having certified teachers in the classrooms, using one-on-one strategies, to help students navigate and master the content. Our curriculum meets each student at their academic level while challenging them to grow.
Our culture is built on empowering youth, believing in them, and challenging them to do their very best. Our supportive and encouraging environment shows students they have the smarts and are capable of succeeding as long as they apply themselves.
