Welcome to the NW Florida Ballet Academie. We are committed to providing critical transitional support for military-connected students as they relocate to our school due to a parent's change in duty station. Our focus is to eliminate barriers to the academic success of military-connected students. We are here to assist and support the military family lifestyle in such areas as school transitions, frequent moves, deployment, and education inconsistencies that exist from state to state, along with many others.

Military Point of Contact - Yvonne Michna, MichnaY@okaloosaschools.com

Each class has a buddy, chosen by the teacher, to help new students acclimate to the classroom and school, and assist them as they learn the procedures.

Ballet Academie staff receive professional development concerning how to identify and respond to the needs of military students and their families.

Ballet Academie reserves at least 5% of controlled open enrollment seats, as defined in Section 1002.31, F.S., for military students.

We honor and celebrate our military families throughout the year in many ways:

• September - Constitution Week

• November - Veteran's Day

• April - Month of the Military Child

The OkaloosaSchools.com website has a detailed list of Military Family Resources and Educational Opportunities to best assist your family. It contains a PCS document, services, programs, educational resources, and so much more to aid in the success of your educational goals.
