CASC will immediately enroll the student if the CASC eligibility requirements are met, even if the child or youth lacks records normally required for enrollment. Age-eligible students that do not meet CASC eligibility requirements will be assisted in enrolling at Heron Virtual Academy. Records will be immediately requested from the previous school. Students will go through CASC student/family orientation and be informed of the expectations and requirements of school.
