Informational meetings are beginning this week for parents and students to tour charter school options within the Northland Pines School District.
The district is accepting families’ applications to have children attend its charter schools now through Friday, Feb. 28.
The district operates three Charter Schools including the Northland Pines Montessori Learning Center, SOAR Charter Middle School, and the School of Options and Applied Research Charter High School.
Charter schools are public schools that are tuition-free and give parents and families a choice for education. Northland Pines offers three so that students in grades 4K through 12th grade have additional educational opportunities.
During the month of January and through Friday, Feb. 28, the Northland Pines School District allows families to apply to have their children attend the Charter Schools.
Current Northland Pines area students, open-enrolled individuals, and home-schooled students are eligible to attend. If more students apply than the spots available, a lottery system is used to determine which students can attend.
There will be parent meetings and/or school tours held at each school.
An informational meeting will be held on Monday, Jan. 20, at 6:30 p.m. It is encouraged, but not required, that parents RSVP to tduffek@npsd.k12.wi.us. The in-person parent meeting will be held at the Montessori Learning Center, located at 8234 State Highway 70, in St. Germain.
The Montessori Learning Center will also hold two tours with question/answer sessions:
• Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 9:30 a.m.
• Thursday, Feb. 6, at 9:30 a.m.
