Penn Hills School District

Penn Hills School District (PHSD) C.H.I.E.F.S. Academy will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, May 30, 2018.  The event will take place from 6 to 7 pm in the LGI Room at the Senior High School.  The public is encouraged to join us for the informational evening to learn more about the District’s enhanced cyber education opportunities.

 

The District knows that students have numerous options for getting a public school education.  We would like to tell you about some of the unique features of our Cyber Academy so that parents/guardians can make an informed decision on the best way to educate their child:

 

Ø  No cost for equipment usage and participants receive Internet reimbursement

Ø  Computers provided for use to work anytime, anywhere

Ø  Drop-in centers with one-on-one teacher assistance at all three buildings

Ø  Expanded course selection and NCAA-approved curriculum

Ø  Blended schedules with attendance included at both District buildings and Forbes Road Career and Technology Center

Ø  Participation in all District athletics and activities

Ø  Off-line experiences such as field trips, lectures, and social events to develop/strengthen peer interaction

The District cyber academy is available for grades K-12.  “The C.H.I.E.F.S. Academy really offers the best of many worlds,” Penn Hills Cyber Coordinator Amy Kingerski said.  “It provides several options for those students whose needs are not met in a traditional school setting.  Whether it is full cyber, a blended schedule with District on-site courses, or a blended schedule with Forbes Road courses, “ she explained, “our cyber academy can provide you with the foundation your child needs to succeed.”
