Independent Study Program (ISP)

ISP is an Independent Study option for students who are looking for an alternative educational program in grades 4th-8th. FMSD’s Independent Study Program will continue to align with the vision of providing an educational experience that supports students who desire a more challenging educational experience, whose health or other personal circumstances make classroom attendance difficult, and/or who are unable to access course(s) due to scheduling problems (BP 6158).

All students enrolled in ISP will be expected to meet with their classroom teacher in-person at Lairon for one hour a week and will be expected to complete daily assignments as assigned by the instructor, independently.  Transportation to Lairon for 1:1 or small group in-person sessions will not be provided.

If you have a rising 4th through 8th grade student who is interested in participating in ISP for the 2023-24 school year, please complete this SURVEY to determine if ISP will be a good fit for your student. For students who score below 12 points on this survey, ISP may not be a good option at this time.

To register for ISP, please complete this form.  It is important that you complete each field so that Educational Services has the appropriate information to move forward with enrollment.  Once the Educational Services department receives the completed form, someone will reach out to schedule a time for guardians to complete the ISP Agreement.
