The Academic Transitional Academy of St. Clair County 
creates an engaging and motivating academic environment that promotes self-confidence and responsibility for students who have not succeeded in a traditional school setting. Courses are designed to help students meet the Michigan High School Course Expectations in science, math and English through the use of problem-based learning, curriculum integration and technology. Real-world learning experiences increase student awareness of opportunities beyond the school setting and prepare them for success after graduation. Save the Date!The 2008 10th Grade Transition Ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4. The transition ceremony is a chance to celebrate what our 10th grade students have accomplished at the ATA and acknowledge their transition to their next phase of high school. Next year they will either attend their home school for full days or they will attend half days at both TEC and their home school. The transition ceremony is held during school hours so that all students can attend. There is a morning ceremony for morning students and an afternoon ceremony for afternoon students. The exact times of the ceremonies will be sent home in the coming weeks and posted here. Family members are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will follow the ceremony. Weather-related closingsIf a student's school district is closed due to bad weather, they are not expected to report to the ATA that day. However, the ATA remains open for school unless all seven school districts in the county are closed. If your district is open then the ATA will be open. If a student from a district that is closed wants to attend the ATA, they are welcome to do so. They need to arrange their own transportation to and from the ATA and should call ahead of time to be sure the ATA is open. Attending the ATA on a day that their district is closed would earn the student a bonus attendance day, which can make up for an earlier absence. Special ATA closingsIf a special circumstance arises that cause the ATA to close when other districts are open, the home high schools will be contacted and they will notify their ATA students.
