ONTARIO – (Release provided by Willamette Connections Academy) The statewide tuition-free online public school Willamette Connections Academy is proud to announce the honor roll for the second semester of the 2020-2021 school year. The list recognizes hundreds of students in grades K-5 from every corner of the state for their academic excellence.
“All of us at Willamette Connections Academy are excited to offer special recognition to this list of Honor Roll students,” said Heather Engelhardt, Willamette Connections Academy Assistant Principal for Grades K-5. “Families have been through so much this past year and a half, it’s been gratifying to see students succeeding academically in a stable high-quality learning environment with minimal interruptions.”
Willamette Connections Academy 2nd Semester Honor Roll – Eastern Oregon:

To qualify for the honor roll, students in kindergarten through 5th grade must receive “A’s” in all their classes during the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic year.
“This past school year, many new families were interested in Willamette Connections Academy’s established, tuition-free full-time online school,” noted Engelhardt. “Some of those families who experienced online learning with our school during the pandemic have decided to keep their students in virtual schooling for other purposes such as a customized education or a flexible schedule.”
