Independent Study Option for Students

Independent Study is available for any student whose parent determines their “pupil's health is considered at-risk,” by the return to in-person instruction. Students enrolled in Independent Study will transfer to Heritage Valley Independent Study (HVIS) and will work with a teacher from HVIS. The grade level of the student determines how much daily and weekly time is spent with the teacher: see the table below. Students will be required to complete asynchronous work during the day outside of the time with the teacher. Parents have the right to return to in-person instruction. If a parent requests a return to in-person instruction, Fillmore Unified School District will place the student in a class within five (5) days of the request.
