Enrollment and Attendance FAQs
Who is eligible to attend Destinations Career Academy of New Mexico (Destinations)?
We are currently enrolling:
- Students living within school district boundaries of Santa Rosa Consolidated Schools and Chama Valley Independent School District
- Students who were previously enrolled in DCA
- Children of employees employed by the districts or DCA
- Siblings of students already attending DCA
How many of my children can I enroll in Destinations?
Because Destinations provides the lesson plans and materials needed for grades K–12, many parents find it easy to enroll multiple children in the program.
What is the attendance policy?
As New Mexico public school students, all Destinations students must comply with the state-required minimum number of instructional days. We expect that students will attend Class Connect sessions as required and complete lessons according to due dates. Students and parents/Learning Coaches must check their email and phone messages daily and stay in regular communication with their teachers.
Can our family take a vacation during the school year?
The school calendar includes school holidays or vacation time. Whenever possible, family vacations should align with school vacation days. Parents are encouraged to contact their teacher if they have a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar. Family vacations may not be approved during the mandated testing periods in the spring.
