Getting Started

You and your student can take part in orientation activities to best prepare for the start of school. During orientation, Success Coaches will guide students through the educational tools they will use daily. These tools include the student dashboard, course access, calendars, email, and how to turn in assignments. There are also live sessions for interactive discussion and ‘orientation courses.’ Our team is here to help set your student up for success.

A Typical School Day

It’s a Wednesday morning, 8:30 am. John, a 3rd grade student, sits at his workspace tucked into a corner of his family’s living room with his mother, who serves as his learning coach. John logs onto his school-provided computer and is immediately viewing his course dashboard. He reviews the day’s To-do list and the live conference class sessions scheduled for each course. His mom helps him plan what tasks to tackle first, and she heads to the other room to make a work call.

*Schedules will vary by student and teacher.
