Students allotment accounts will be charged beginning the month of enrollment in Acellus.

The cost for Acellus is $79 per month per student regardless of the day of enrollment in Acellus.

If your student is not going to use Acellus in August, request a September start, etc. Your student's allotment account will be charged whether your student is attending classes or not.

When your student is finished with their classes, notify HomeBRIDGE so that we can take steps to stop the charges. Acellus is charged on a per month basis; it doesn't matter how many days it is used in that month.

NOTE: If the student withdraws from HomeBRIDGE prior to the end of October the student/family will be required to repay any costs related to Acellus.

In order to avoid unwanted charges, HomeBRIDGE will need an "opt-in" request in order for students to work in Acellus. Please follow these steps to opt your student in to Acellus.

In order to opt in for Acellus use, your student will need to be registered for the 26-27 School year.

1) JSD and Brightways reregistration must be completed.

• Register in Brightways for the 26-27 school year.

• Use the paper re-enrollment process

Re-enrollment must be completed. Questions about this? Contact Leslie

• See the announcement above regarding re-enrolling in HomeBRIDGE

2) Request to Opt-in to Acellus by emailing homebridge@juneauschools.org.

• The subject line of this email should read:

"(your student's lastname, firstname) - Acellus Opt In.

NOTE: you need to use your student's given name as found in powerschool.

• If the subject line is anything else, it's possible the email will get lost in the multitude of emails received by that account.

Wednesday, September 30 - Season Pass Tier I pricing ends

Eaglecrest is an approved HomeBRIDGE vendor. If Eaglecrest use is in the student's Individual Learning Plan (ILP), the price of the season pass can deducted from the student's allotment. Because Eaglecrest is an approved vendor, they will invoice HomeBRIDGE directly. Student's must be registered in Brightways and enrolled/re-enrolled in the JSD online portal, and this must be in the student's ILP for HomeBRIDGE to be invoiced directly. (one guardian for students in K through 8th is also eligible)

Tier I pricing ends on September 30.

Fifth grade season passes are available all year.

A student’s directory information shall not be released if a parent or guardian notifies the district in writing that such information may not be disclosed. The form can be found in Appendix F.

Without this designation, the superintendent or designee may use a student’s directory information in school publications and may authorize the release of directory information to representatives of the news media, prospective employers, post-secondary institutions, military recruiters, nonprofits, or other organizations.

Directory information consists of: student’s name, address, telephone number, email address, photo, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of athletic team members, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status, degrees, honors and awards received, scholarship eligibility, and most recent previous school attended (B. Policy 5125.1).

NOTE: exceptions to the directory designation are possible (e.g.: ok to share to Eaglecrest)

If your student is not registered in Brightways for the 26-27 school year and the JSD re-enrollment filled out, your student's allotment cannot be used.

If your student leaves HomeBRIDGE prior to the end of October, the family is responsible for repaying any allotment charges.
