ATLAS SUPPORT PROGRAM
ALTERNATIVES TOWARD LEARNING & ACHIEVING SUCCESS
ATLAS is a voluntary program providing students with an opportunity to grow and achieve academic and personal success in an individualized setting. Students struggling academically for a variety of reasons are referred to the program by counselors and/or administrators. Interested students and their parents complete an ATLAS application, are placed on the wait list and prioritized as openings occur.
ATLAS offers students small class sizes, individualized planning and support, direct and computer-based instruction. Students can earn credits in core subjects and work study. All classes are aligned with Kirkwood District and Missouri state standards. The staff includes a Program Director, seven teachers (including one Special School District teacher), and an instructional aide. During an intake meeting, students accepted into the program are given a personalized schedule addressing academic needs and goals.
The regular ATLAS program consists of half day programming with approximately 80 students enrolled. In addition to the regular ATLAS session, an afterschool Credit Recovery Program is offered Monday-Thursday from 3:00-4:00pm for non-ATLAS students who are deficient in credits necessary for graduation. Students are referred to this program by their counselors.
Please refer questions regarding the ATLAS Program to Sherri Kulpa, Assistant Principal/ATLAS Director or Kelly Nevins, Department Chair, at 314-213-6100, extension 1198.
