Purpose S.T.A.R. Labs are district programs located in high schools to assist high school students in a variety of ways:
to earn high school credits during fall, spring, and summer semesters
to earn credits during periods of expulsion or medical emergency
to earn credits upon making a transition into a new school setting
to prepare for taking the GED
Curriculum NovaNET is the primary curriculum utilized in S.T.A.R.
Labs. NovaNET is an online curriculum that contains over 10,000 hours of
interactive lessons in the core content areas (math, science, social studies,
and language arts) and in a few elective areas.
Placement Some course work is demanding and requires that a
student possess certain minimum competencies. Since space is limited, STAR
Lab Coordinators will work with school counselors and administrators to
establish priorities.
Home Access Some students in special situations may be able to
receive S.T.A.R. Lab services at home via remote access.
On
the Horizon New and expanded STAR Labs to meet the needs of
a growing school district!
