Jan. 11 Information Session Planned For Prospective Pivot North
Bay Students
Pivot Charter School, North Bay, a full-time online public
school, announced Thursday that it is launching a program that lets
students earn elective credits while developing leadership skills
and learning about aviation through the U.S. Air Force’s
Civil Air Patrol auxiliary. The school has scheduled a local
information session January 11 to help prospectivestudents and
parents learn more during the open enrollment period for the spring
2012 semester.
“At Pivot, we continue to expand our offerings through the
addition of innovative programs that will positively impact the
lives of our students,” said Jayna Gaskell, Pivot Online
Charter Schools executive director. “Our new Civil Air Patrol
option represents a unique opportunity for North Bay middle and
high school students to develop lifelong skills through a
well-known national program.”
The optional Civil Air Patrol program complements Pivot’s
online curriculum and offers students the chance to develop
leadership skills; learn about astronomy, aeronautics and search
and rescue; and serve the community. The hands-on program is taught
by professional pilots, Air Force veterans and advanced Civil Air
Patrol cadets. Students participate in field trips during which
they apply their new skills in real-life settings.
“The Civil Air Patrol is one of the best-kept secrets
among youth programs,” said Maj. Anthony Hamill, U.S. Air
Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol. “Civil Air Patrol helps
students master skills that are essential to success in the
classroom and the workplace. It is truly a fantastic program, and
we are thrilled to reach more area students through our partnership
with Pivot Online Charter School.”
