FAQ
What Equipment is Needed, and What are the Costs to My Family?
All students receive a laptop and all the peripheral equipment needed to participate fully. There are no equipment costs to parents, and qualifying families receive subsidized reimbursement for their internet service based on their level of need.
What Extra-Curricular Programs are Available?
Cyber Scholars have the option to join many athletic teams and music programs through the athletics and art departments of ASPIRA of PA Schools. Chess and technology clubs are also available.
How Will I Know My Child is Attending Lessons and Completing Their Work?
Home facilitators can be given access to Schoology and PowerSchool. On these sites, you can monitor your child's grades and attendance in real-time.
ABCCS is also committed to partnering with families to ensure their child's success. We send out automated daily attendance messages to let families know when their students haven't accessed their schoolwork. Our teachers also reach out weekly to guardians to provide individualized updates about each student.
Based on a written policy, our Truancy Officer will notify and work with parents, conduct home visits, and/or take further action to end unexcused absences.
Is My Student Ever Required to Attend In-Person?
Scholars are required to be present in the school on state-required testing days throughout the year. Otherwise, they are free to come in for tutoring and if technical assistance is needed.
What if My Child has Special Learning Needs?
Because our certified special education teachers craft unique learning plans, students can always learn at their own pace. Each scholar also has access to a school nurse, a counselor, a psychologist, and a speech, occupational, and physical therapist.
