Information for FIVE students

Minimum enrollment numbers must be met for FIVE to be a program of choice for the 2021-22 school year. There are also maximum enrollment numbers for the program and a random lottery will be administered to assign students to available seats. Students not selected in the random lottery will be placed in an applicant pool should available seats become available at a later date.
After-school clubs and sports will be connected to the student’s homeschool. Performing Arts programs, such as Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Dance, and Theatre that require a class during the school day as well as after school practices and performances, will not be available in FIVE.
School District Five will provide each student with a district device for their educational use. Families selecting FIVE must have home internet access so students can participate virtually from home. FIVE students are expected to participate in live virtual instruction daily.
Students enrolled in FIVE may utilize existing transportation routes if they are attending a class at The Center for Advanced Technical Studies (The Center) if transportation routes are available during scheduled class times. If not, students will need to provide their own transportation to participate in classes at The Center.
