Overview of Program

The El Dorado High School Extend Campus provides another flexible learning option for students in grades 7-12. It is an option for residents of USD #490 as appropriate and by the application process. A flexible learning environment is not the appropriate educational setting for every student. It is important to consider your student’s needs and learning style to determine the appropriateness of this program. Teachers, counselors, and administration are available to assist in making this determination.

The Extend Campus provides an individually developed schedule to ensure all lessons in each course are presented within one academic school term. Consistent lesson progression is expected, and progress data is used to evaluate student progress and learning. Parents/guardians must understand the structures and expectations of their student's enrollment at Extend Campus. In addition, parents/guardians and students also agree to participate in the program as designed.

Curriculum

The curriculum is designed to meet or exceed State of Kansas College and Career Ready curriculum standards. Students may enroll in various courses at Extend Campus, however, not all EHS courses are offered in this setting. Students may take additional courses to recover credits or work towards early graduation. All course enrollments require administration approval.

Students will work primarily on Acellus, an online program, for their courses. These courses will include some supplemental projects and assignments separate from the online course. Although working online, students will have staff members to support, explain, reteach, etc.

Extend students will follow the USD 490 Graduation requirement. Extend staff will help students select courses that meet these requirements and will reflect students' Individual Plans of Study (IPS) goals.
