For our students and families in Oregon here is what you need to know:
Compulsory age of attendance in your state is: 6-18
In your state, Bridge operates as a: Private School
Which means, when enrolled with us, your student would be considered a: Private School Student
Your requirements after enrolling with us will be: nothing!
ESAs/Scholarship Funds?
Currently, Oklahoma does not offer any ESA or Scholarship programs for home education families that we are aware of.
You should also be aware of the following:
* If you are transferring your child from a public or private school, you will need to submit a withdrawal form to the school, as well as submit a records transfer request so that Bridge Academy can complete your child’s transfer. We have forms for these steps inside our Parent Portal that you can access once you have enrolled.
* If your child has a current IEP, we will need a copy of this to add to your child’s file. Please be aware that because we are a virtual school, we cannot fulfill any support services that may currently be a part of your child’s plan (however, we find that most support needs that are required for a neurodiverse child in a classroom are often unnecessary once they are home and learning in a less restrictive environment).
* Bridge Academy is a participating member of OSAA as an Associate School, therefore our students can participate in their locally zoned public school sports teams as representatives. If this is something your child is interested in, please let us know so we can get you the appropriate paperwork.
