REGISTRATION FOR 2nd SEMESTER LONDON UNLIMITED FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR NOW OPEN!

The London City School District is pleased to offer families a variety of educational options for the 2022-2023 school year. District students may complete coursework each day in a traditional manner or may choose to participate in the London Unlimited program, which offers a high-quality education in a time and place tailored to the needs of students and families. Learning options for the London Unlimited program include fully virtual learning, hybrid learning (part virtual/part in person), participation in an internship, or an application for high school credit through other credit flexibility options. London utilizes SchoolsPLP as its online curriculum and learning management system for its virtual courses. Each virtual course is facilitated by a highly qualified, LCS teacher.

In order to be eligible and remain enrolled in the program, students must be legally enrolled in the London City School District, complete a program application, and be accepted into the program. Once enrolled, students must maintain their attendance as demonstrated through regular course activity, demonstrate sustained academic progress, and agree to participate in state and local assessments. Students may be withdrawn from the program for failure to meet one of these expectations. Student-Athletes participating in online courses are subject to the same standards as in-person learners. High School students will be part of the Credit Flex Program. Please note, that families choosing a virtual or blended learning option must make a semester commitment.

Parents and guardians are asked to review and complete all information on this registration form. Class and schedule information will be sent individually upon approval into the program. If you have more than one student to register, please complete this form separately for each student. There will be an opportunity at the end to submit another form if needed.

London Unlimited

What is London Unlimited?

London Unlimited is a program within London Middle/High School that allows students the flexibility to alter their schedule while still gaining the required courses to be promoted from LMS and the required credits to graduate from London High School. This program uses online blended learning, credit flex learning, internships, virtual learning, College Credit Plus, and a hybrid blended learning environment to help all students succeed at learning. The program requires students to attend London High School either during regularly scheduled classes or during after-school hours if taking an online course with highly qualified teachers.

London Unlimited Benefits

The London Unlimited program is unique in that it allows students to have an alternative school day with nearly unlimited possibilities. Students can attend classes during the regular school day and LHS students can gain credits in Art, Music, Agricultural Education, Exploratory Arts (Woods, Digital Photography, etc.), or any core course offered at London High School as well as take advantage of online courses that are offered and taught by London Middle/High School teachers after school in the Media Resource Center. These online courses are assigned with the student’s needs in mind with the goal of creating the best learning environment for that student. This individual plan for success will create a program that allows students to move towards graduation in the best and most direct path.

Students who are utilizing a hybrid blended schedule (courses taken during the regular school day at London High School as well as at least one online course or credit recovery course) may have different after-school obligations, depending on the coursework taken. If a student is only taking one course via online learning, s/he will meet with their teacher either during a scheduled study hall or during the after-school Unlimited time. The requirements for face-time with teachers does not change, only the time in which this teaching takes place.

What happens if I do not meet the requirements?

London Unlimited is an Opt-In program; this means the students are opting into a program with the understanding they are responsible for meeting during the assigned times, completing the work in a satisfactory manner, and progressing through their courses in a timely manner. Students who are not attending their scheduled meeting times, failing to satisfactory complete work, or falling behind in the progress of the course will be placed on a two-week probation, allowing for the student to show some progress towards success, and then be removed from the program and placed back in regularly scheduled classes during the London Middle/High School day. The ultimate decision on whether a student is permitted to stay in the program to show progress lies with the London Unlimited program director and the London City School superintendent. Communication with students and parents will take place prior to any decision of probation or exiting of the program. London City Schools wants students to succeed and feels this program and these requirements will help students find the success they are seeking.

How do I know what courses to take?

The London Unlimited program director, school counselors, parents, and students will meet to determine what credits are needed and what courses should be taken for the student to complete requirements towards graduation. London City Schools requires twenty-two (22) credits for graduation and the Unlimited program will help students gain these credits in a learning environment that helps the student best.

Student Discipline

Students will follow the London High School Student Code of Conduct and adhere to all of the regulations including attendance and dress code while on school grounds. After-school teachers may have rules for their class which must be followed to ensure all students have access to a quality education. Students are encouraged to attend school functions, participate in extracurricular activities, and attend after-school functions such as student clubs and activities. Student discipline will fall within the guidelines set forth by the teachers and the administrators. Students are subject to detentions, suspensions, and expulsions if warranted by the actions of the student.
