Missouri Connections Academy Recognizes St. Louis Student

SPRINGFIELD, MO – Dayden Jett, of St. Louis, was recently named one of Missouri Connections Academy’s (MOCA) Students of the Month for November in recognition of his outstanding achievements in the virtual classroom.

“Our students of the month demonstrate leadership and an extraordinary commitment to learning while serving as strong role models for their peers,” said Lynsie Hunt, School Leader at Missouri Connections Academy. “The members of our faculty and staff are proud to give these virtual classroom leaders the recognition they deserve.”

Dayden is a fourth grader at the statewide, tuition-free, online public school and was nominated by his teacher. As a Student of the Month, Dayden will receive a certificate of achievement and be profiled in the Missouri Connections Academy student newsletter and the school’s social media platforms. Each month during the school year, MOCA will recognize students in grades K through 12 who are excelling in the virtual classroom.

According to Dayden’s mother Cynthia, they enrolled him in the online school last year because he needed a different environment in which he could focus more on learning. Cynthia said the transition to the virtual classroom was a bit of a challenge for her son at first. However, with the help of the staff, it’s been going great.

“He’s enjoying learning more and school is fun for him again as the one-on-one teacher support has been amazing,” Cynthis said. “Missouri Connections Academy is an amazing school and any parent who makes it their choice to enroll their child will not be disappointed.”

Virtual school is a great fit for a variety of students and each student is unique. Those who attend Missouri Connections Academy come from different backgrounds and choose full-time online school for various reasons. Some students prefer to take ownership of their education and benefit from the flexibility that virtual school offers, while others are looking for a safe learning environment.
