GRADES 4-8
In this semester long class, students will be learning about media and broadcast production. Students will learn how to produce, direct, edit, and anchor different types of news stories relevant to our American Academy community. Broadcasts may be shown via the school s closed-circuit television system and/or published on our website. Students will be required to work outside of class to meet deadlines and prepare for broadcasts.
STUDENTS IN GRADES 5-8
This course is offered as part of the American Academy Performing Arts. You do NOT need to enroll in the American Academy Performing Arts (AAPA) to enroll in this class. However, the AAPA is for students in grades 5-8 who are interested in enrolling in a track for performing arts in Theater, Instrumental, Vocal, Dance, Triple Threat or General Performance. An additional registration fee of $50 is required to enroll in the AAPA. Advantages to enrolling include a discount on extracurricular participation fees for Performing Arts courses, and students who complete all courses in their track will receive a certificate and recognition upon graduation from American Academy. For more details on courses required for certification, please visit the AAPA on the school website.
REFUNDS: Because American Academy teachers run our extracurricular activities based on the number of sign-ups prior to the activity, all activity fees are non-refundable unless the teacher needs to cancel the activity due to low enrollment.
LATE ENROLLMENT OR MISSED ATTENDANCE: Timely enrollment and regular attendance for each activity is the responsibility of the parent and the student. The activity fee does not reflect the number of days your student attends the activity; rather, the activity fee is a flat fee budgeted to cover the costs to the school and the teacher for each activity that runs, and is the same for each student enrolled in that activity, regardless of the number of days the student attends. For this reason, American Academy does not prorate activity fees for late enrollments or give refunds to students not in attendance each day of the activity.
