Ohio Connections Academy Recognizes Dayton Student
Star Student Award recognizes students for achievement in and out of the virtual classroom
Tucker Carll of Dayton, was recently named one of Ohio Connections Academy’s (OCA) Star Students of the Month for December in recognition of his academic achievements and leadership.
Tucker, a fourth grader at the statewide online public charter school, was nominated by his teacher Ms. Groppe in recognition of his positive attitude and hard work so far this year. As a Star Student, Tucker will be presented a certificate recognizing his achievement and be profiled in Ohio Connections Academy’s student newsletter and on the school’s website.
Tucker enrolled in Ohio Connections Academy this year to have a more flexible schedule which his mother Stephanie said, allows the family to cater to special learning requirements. “We focus more time on areas of need,” she said, “and we can complete more work one day so we can take more of a break if our family needs.”
