Virtual learning comes to Homelink
Next fall students enrolled in the K-8 Homelink program at Berney Elementary will have the option of taking courses online as part of a new virtual learning program after school board members recently approved an agreement with K12 Inc. to serve as the vendor. K12 Inc. operates in more than 16 states serving more than 25,000 students.
"They are the leading provider of curriculum in virtual school programs," Berney/Homelink Principal David Talley said. "We also believe that K12 offers the quality curriculum that Walla Walla is known for providing its students and families."
Talley said K12 Inc. allows many flexible options for parents/students from serving the gifted and talented to those that struggle in the traditional school setting.
"Parents choosing this option will work with their Homelink advisory teacher to develop how many and what level of course(s) may be taken," Talley said. "There is no cost for parents or families that enroll in the Homelink program."
Homelink is a parent partnership program for families interested in using district classes and resources to supplement their home-based instruction. Talley said teachers Valerie Gentzler and Pam Clayton played key roles in researching this virtual program.
