Bridges Area Learning Center
Bridges Area Learning Center is a personalized alternative high school program designed to meet the needs of students who, for a variety of reasons, are not successful in the traditional school setting. It was created in 2009 to meet the needs of a changing student population.
High school years may find students confronted with a range of challenges, which put them at risk to not graduate. Rather than dropping out of school, students have an option to attend Bridges.
Our goal is to reach all learners-- especially those who struggle in traditional schools. Bridges offers personalized instruction with staff who have a flexible approach to teaching.

Bridges also offers make-up days for students struggling with attendance and intervention programming, including an on-site social worker and counselor.

NEWS
Tuesday, April 3 and Monday, April 9 are special testing days for all 10th and 11th grade students. We will not be holding regular school hours at Bridges ALC on these two days, but rather, special testing hours.
Due to the full testing schedule and school resources that must be applied, 9th and 12th grade students will not need to report to school on April 3 and 9. However, teachers will prepare assignments to be completed at home, and all students (9-12) will be expected to complete these assignments. Academic expectations, including assignments and due dates, will be communicated to students by individual teachers prior to April 3 and April 9.

During the Laker Pride portions of the February 12 Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools Board Meeting, elementary media specialists were honored for their work in Computer Science. Starting this school year, all PLSAS elementary students learn computer science in their media classes; but before they could offer this valuable education, media specialists needed to learn the language of coding themselves.
