- The student has received approval to attend Missouri Connections Academy from the resident district school or charter school and has provided proof of approval to Missouri Connections Academy. Your school district may have adopted a specific process for obtaining this approval, which may include timelines, consultation with the school’s counselor, and parental notification or authorization, so be sure to ask for a copy of the policy.
