Reminder About Planning for 4+ Services; DMACC Offering Informational Sessions

STRIVE and STRIVE Academy, located on the DMACC Campus, are options available for students in need of 4+ Services. Students who attend one of these programs do so through the IEP process and remain on an IEP while attending STRIVE or STRIVE Academy. There are information sessions available to help teams learn about the services provided by these programs and how the programs might meet the needs of their students. 

There are two remaining information sessions about STRIVE. Dates are Feb. 8 and Feb. 22, 2019. Sessions will take place in Building 5, Room 1203 on the Ankeny DMACC Campus from 10 - 11:30 a.m. Participants will meet in a large group to hear about the program and then meet with a STRIVE instructor to discuss specific vocational programs. It would be beneficial for a student to have identified and researched a program of interest before attending. Call (515) 965-7138 to let STRIVE know you will be attending. The deadline for referrals to STRIVE is March 9. More information is available on the DMACC/STRIVE webpage. 

There is one remaining informational session for STRIVE Academy. The session is scheduled for Feb. 7, 2019, from 1 – 4 p.m. and will include information about the program and a tour of the classroom and apartments. The session will take place in Building 19, Room 40 on the Ankeny DMACC Campus. Call (515) 965-7138 to sign up for this session.
