Enrollment Information

Please read through each section of the handbook to ensure that online learning is the best learning environment for your student. Some considerations when enrolling your student in a 100% online learning format are:

• Internet Access and solid connectivity in the home (50 Mbps minimum).
• Learning Coach (a person or adult to support their child at home through learning experiences) available to help with student learning.
• A learning space with minimal distractions.
• Availability to attend live scheduled classes during normal school hours.

Dispositions of a D6OA Online Learner

To enroll students in the online school, families must open-enroll their student(s) through the District 6 Open Enrollment.  This process opens in November/December of each year.  For additional information, contact the Admissions office at 970-348-6062.

• The transfer process allows flexibility in school enrollment within the current school year and when circumstances necessitate a change in school. All requests for enrollment at a school outside a student’s attendance area will be processed as transfers once the school year has begun.
• Transfer requests must be initiated by the parents/guardians by filing the approved form with the school principal which the student wishes to attend (receiving school). The transfer form will be available online on the district’s website. The principal or district personnel will explain the procedures to the parent/guardian to process transfer requests. The receiving school principal will notify the school principal in the student’s attendance area of the disposition of the request.
• The receiving school principal will decide whether a transfer appli­cation is accepted or rejected based on the same criteria established in state and federal law and Board policy as used to consider open enrollment requests. It may be appropriate under some circumstances to conditionally approve a transfer re­quest. The receiving school principal will notify the parents and stu­dents of approval or disapproval of a transfer request as soon as pos­si­ble.
• Approved transfers will be granted through the end of the school's highest grade level.
• Students who wish to return to their home school or to transfer to a different school must reapply for a transfer by these regulations.
• High School students may not be eligible to transfer from their current school after the eight week of the semester.
