Alma School District honors and supports students whose parents or guardians serve in the active duty, National Guard, or Reserve components of the United States Armed Forces. We follow the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, which helps ensure consistency in enrollment, placement, attendance, eligibility, and graduation.

Our goal is simple: every military-connected student feels welcomed, supported, and set up for success from day one.

We understand that military families may enroll students at any point during the school year. Alma School District works to minimize disruptions and delays.

We can help with:

• Mid-year enrollment

• Transfer of records and credits

• Course and grade placement

• Special education and 504 plan continuity

• Participation in extracurricular activities

Military-connected students have access to the same high-quality academic and support services available to all Alma students, including:

• School counseling services

• Academic intervention and enrichment programs

• Special education services

• Gifted and talented programs

• Career and college readiness support

If a transition has impacted your child academically or emotionally, our staff is ready to partner with you.

Frequent moves, deployments, and reunifications can be challenging for students. Alma School District provides:

• School-based counseling support

• Small-group and individual social-emotional support

• Connections to community and military family resources

Families are encouraged to reach out to their school counselor if additional support is needed.
