The program will be Wadena-Deer Creek s distance learning option for the year. 6:23 am, Apr. 21, 2021 ×
Wadena-Deer Creek is planning a new distance learning program option for the 2021-22 school year that is similar to an online academy but students remain in the district.
The school board approved the Edmentum Online Learning Platform on April 19. Families who choose the distance learning option would be enrolled in this program. Students will have four core classes and two electives. The program provides state certified teachers for the classes. The district will also have a coordinator overseeing students.
The option of distance learning will likely be required again next school year, and some families have found they enjoy this style, as Superintendent Lee Westrum said. The hope is also that students who attend other online academies will join WDC’s online academy instead, and possibly interest homeschool families.
