The Metro East Web Academy provides a technology-rich 21st century learning model that ensures student success in a rapidly evolving learning, work, and community environment.
Dear parents and students:
It is our pleasure to welcome new and returning students for the 2015-2016 school year. Our middle school, high school, GED, and early college programs continue to grow and improve and it is through the hard work of our students that graduation rates and enrollments increase every year. Thank you for your hard work.
This year we have a few exciting changes that will be implemented; we believe that these changes will continue to support and encourage our students toward further success.
- Trimester system: The trimester schedule will allow students to possibly earn more credits throughout the school year. It will also allow us to clearly define holidays as well as areas of study in need of extra focus and attention.
- First Trimester: September 8th - December 17th
- Second Trimester: January 4th - March 17th
- Third Trimester: March 28th - June 16th
- New Staff: two new instructors will be joining us this year. David Kennedy will be joining the science team and John Ling will be joining the math, science, and health teams. Both Tonia Gebhart and Christina Struyk-Bonn will move into part-time administrative roles.
- The first two weeks of school, from September 8th through September 18th, new and returning students in our 6th through 12th grade program will be required to attend two face-to-face sessions on campus. During those time slots, we will discuss how to be successful here at MEWA and how to stay caught up in all classes. By now your counselors or our front office staff have scheduled you in a time slot.
- MEWA will continue to follow the expectation that each student will complete one assignment per course enrolled, each week. This requirement must be met to continue enrollment in MEWA.
- We are also going to ask our parents to continue to support the assignment requirement for their student by acting as MEWA partner learning coaches. The involvement will require parents to make a short data entry into our system each week.
- Communication continues to be a primary focus. Please download the MEWA app, check email messages, check phone calls and messages, and provide us with the most current contact information.
- All of our programs have open slots -- so if you know of someone who wants to attend our 6th through 12th grade online program, Early College, or GED, please pass on this news.
- Early College students -- MEWA will pay up to $1,350 for tuition and books each term. For students in need, MEWA will help out with the cost of books above the $1,350 limit. Here at MEWA, we want all students to be successful. If you are interested in the early college program, please contact Jeff Cochran at 503-258-4790.
On Tuesday September 8th and Wednesday September 9th, the parking lot to the east of our rear entrance will be seal-coated and striped. One-half the parking lot will be closed on each of the two days starting at 7:00 AM. The best scenario is for students and parents to utilize parking lots in neighboring shopping areas, on Civic Drive, or take public transportation. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
Change to Trimester Schedule
Metro East Web Academy is excited to announce that it will be moving to a trimester schedule during the 2015-2016 school year.
The trimester schedule will allow students to possibly earn more credits throughout the school year. This schedule will better align with the MHCC quarter schedule and will allow Early College students to take advantage of our College Now and other course offerings at MEWA! It will also allow us to clearly define holidays as well as areas of study in need of extra focus and attention.
We are thrilled to offer this change and believe it will be a good fit for our MEWA students.
- First Trimester: September 8-December 17
- Second Trimester: January 4-March 17
- Third Trimester: March 28th-June 16th
