Who: Students in grades K-12 who are not
able to attend the Troy Area School District in person, but wish to have access
to district resources often will enroll in the Troy Online Academy (TOA). For
the 2022-2023 school year, Troy Online Academy has appointed and hired a
dedicated Troy teacher who will be available during the day in person, by
phone, and via e-mail to provide educational assistance and contact students
and families who have questions about the online learning process. This
individual has special education certification for those TOA students who
require learning support services.
What: The
Troy Online Academy is an online tool that allows students to receive their
education outside of the regular classroom. Classes are assigned that
meet the requirements of the school district and the state of
Pennsylvania. Some students may chose to take every class through the Academy,
while others may have a full school day in person, and use Troy Online Academy to provide extra
educational opportunities. The Troy Online Academy utilizes Troy staff
to work closely with students to monitor progress, provide assistance, and help
to connect students with guidance regarding academic planning, including
athletics, facilities, local teachers who care.
When: Students who are enrolled in the
Troy Online Academy will be expected to log-in online each day that school is
in session and complete work. Attendance will be taken.
Where: Students who are enrolled in the Troy Online Academy may complete work from home, or they may come into the school to work with the dedicated Troy Online Academy teacher. There will be a dedicated space in the new THS Steam Literacy center where students can access internet, work on assignments, and collaborate with teachers. Students using this space will be expected to work diligently and to remain focused. Students using this space will have access to the Troy Area School District Cafeteria Services.
Why: The Troy Area School district
realized that students have diverse educational needs and learning
styles. The Troy Online Academy Provides flexibility to students who are
unable to attend school in the traditional manner.
