Next Step Motto: Small steps are still progress! We appreciate the opportunity to engage, interact, and support all families. Our Next Step vision is to create a community of learners who embody the virtues of acceptance, flexibility, individualization, respect, and responsibility. We are excited you are part of our alternative learning environment. Reminder: High School students are required to check in and meet with their instructor(s) weekly. It is recommended that multiple check ins occur each week to ensure successful completion of academic course work. As we start quarter 4, students not adhering to the weekly check in schedule or failing to engage in the learning process will be removed from their course.
