Students who have been placed on Academic Warning and continue to fail classes in Digital Academy are being transferred to in-person at Chester High School so that they can receive more adult guidance and support.

If your student is struggling in Digital Academy, let's have a conversation about whether this is the best fit for them at this time. Please do not let your student continue in the Digital Academy if it is not a good fit for them.

Attendance ✅

Our teachers and staff take daily attendance in every class. It is the policy of the Digital Academy that students must be present, in front of the computer, with their camera on, to be marked present for class. Currently, students who cover their camera lens or remain off-camera will be marked absent from class.

Student Devices 💻

Digital Academy students are required to use a School District Chromebook for all of their Digital Academy classes. Students should not use personal laptops, desktop computer, cell phones, or tablets to access Digital Academy classes.

Denial of Credit ❌

To obtain academic credit for a course, students must be in attendance and have their attendance recorded at least 90% of the time that a course is scheduled. Failure to attend at least 90% of the scheduled classes of any course may result in a denial of credit for that course.
