Student FAQs

What is the online orientation course? The online orientation course is designed to introduce you to our school and the Edgenuity curriculum program, and it allows you to provide important information about yourself to our staff. You will need to complete this short online orientation course before you will be given access to your academic courses. Once you finish this course, it can take up to 2 school days to be enrolled in your regular classes. How will my courses be scheduled? Your counselor at your home high school will need to work with you to determine what courses you need to take. They will then fill out the Counselor Enrollment Form, an online google form that is shared with our registrar. Once you have completed all application and orientation steps, the registrar will add your classes. What happens if I finish my course early/late? Make an appointment with your counselor to determine the next steps for enrollment in courses. Do I have to go to the Student Learning Center or can I work from home/elsewhere? While you are not required to come on-campus to work in our SLC for regular coursework, we highly encourage it if you have any questions or would like some teacher support. All students are required to come to our SLC to take their proctored final exams when they are at the end of their course(s). How do I know who my teachers are? On the Edgenuity dashboard, select the box on the left-hand navigation bar for “Course Information.” There you will find the names of your courses and information about your teachers. What is my Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP)?

7

The WSLP is an ALE required document that outlines important information about you including your name, grade, requirements for a satisfactory evaluation, and course information for the year. We will be sending this document to you and your parent/guardian (if under 18) and updating it as you finish your courses and start new ones. Staff will maintain the updates of this document but you will have access to view it using the provided emailed link at any time. How should I contact my teachers? The fastest way to contact your teachers is to send them a message through the Edgenuity SIS page (the gray login page, not the blue coursework page). Teachers check their Edgenuity messages several times throughout each school day. To do this, go to “Messages” and click “Compose.” You can start typing your teacher’s name in the “To” field and it will pop up for you to select. Make sure to include a subject line relevant to the content of your email. Then type a message to your teacher in the large box provided and hit “Send” when you are finished. What do I write for required weekly contact with my teacher(s)? In your weekly emails, you must include course-specific goals and, if behind, clear and specific plans for catching up (example: what days you will work that week and for how long each day).

● Example of course-specific weekly contact: ○ Today in __________ class, I am __________ percent complete. The target completion is

_________. This means I am ________(on track, ahead, behind). My goal for this week is __________________.

Example: Today in English 9, I am 45% complete. The target completion is 40%. This means I am ahead! My goal for the week is to stay on track each school day and get ahead, if possible.

○ If behind: I am ____________ percent behind where I should be. My plan for catching up is _______________.

Example: Today in English 9, I am 30% complete. The target completion is 40%. This means I am 10% behind. My plan for catching up is to spend one and a half hours working on coursework each school day instead of one hour. If I’m not caught up by Friday, I will be spending as much time as needed on Saturday to get fully caught up so that by next Monday, I am no longer behind.

How do I attach a Google Document to an assignment on Edgenuity? Some assignments on Edgenuity will require that you create or update a document and then upload your work back on Edgenuity. Student Chromebooks are set up to use Google Docs. You can download the provided templates from Edgenuity, edit them, and then upload them by following these steps:

1. Download the document to Google Docs. 2. Make your edits.

8

3. Select “File” in the upper left-hand corner. 4. Select “Download as…” 5. Select “PDF Document (.pdf)” 6. Go back to Edgenuity and click “Upload Document” 7. Select the PDF you created and hit “Submit”

How do I know when my teachers will be in the SLC? Paper copies of teacher schedules are available in the SLC. You can come in and take one for reference and can also request to meet with your teacher outside their SLC time if they agree to it either virtually or in-person. What is my course map, and how do I get to it? Your course map is a useful tool in Edgenuity that shows you which assignments you need to complete in every class, every day, in order to stay on-track. It also shows you past assignments that were already due (and whether or not you have completed them), and future assignments as well. To get to the course map, simply go to your dashboard and click on any class under.

Parent FAQs for Suppor�ng your Online Student How much time should my student be spending on their course and how do I check their time? Students should be spending approximately one hour per day, per class. For example: 2 classes = 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week. You can check to make sure your student is spending enough time on their course(s) through your parent portal account. Check under “Attendance Log”. How do I know if my student is making progress? You will be sent a weekly progress report via email. Your student should be either green (on target) or blue (ahead). You can also use your parent portal account at any time to check your student’s progress (see page 10 for instructions). What happens if my student states they are “locked” out of their course?

9

S tudents can take assessments (quizzes or tests) up to four times. If a student fails on the fourth try, the prior lesson/unit will be reset so the student can review. Suggestions to help your student if this occurs:

● Remind your student to contact their teacher as soon as this occurs. ● Come into the Student Learning Center for help and support. ● Slow down, review your notes, review lesson information and take more notes.

What are the eLearning Academy attendance requirements? All students must make weekly contact with their teacher. This can be through email, Edgenuity chat, face-to-face (Student Learning Center), phone, or text. Part-time students are not required to come into the SLC but we highly encourage them to come in for support and help. All students must be logging in and completing work weekly and cannot go longer than five school days without accessing their course or contacting their teacher(s). How can I help my student stay on track? You can do this by being proactive with your student:

● checking their progress, ● time spent on courses, ● having discussions about where they are struggling, ● helping them follow their checklist, ● keeping a schedule and reminding them to follow their course map.

Family Portal Guide

Introduction

The Family Portal is a site that allows parents access to current information about their student’s progress and performance. Parents will be able to see a range of information such as how much time the student has spent working on their courses, what their grades are, and if they are on track to finish their courses on time. The Family Portal can be accessed at http://learn.edgenuity.com/family/

Understanding Your Student’s Progress Report Introduction Knowing how your student is performing in their courses is something important to all parents and guardians. We want to make sure that you have access to that information and that you know how to interpret it. How to Receive Progress Reports via Email Your student’s progress report will be sent to you, via email, weekly on Monday mornings.

If you are not yet receiving your student’s progress report, contact your student’s teacher and provide the following information:

1. Your student’s name 2. Your name 3. Your email address

Understanding the Progress Report Students also see this same progress report each time they log into the Virtual Classroom to perform work in their courses. Edgenuity is dedicated to ensuring that students, as well as the parents, guardians, and educators who support them, always know how they are performing in their course work. NAME OF COURSE: At the top of the report you will see the name of the course.

14

COURSE COMPLETED: There are three elements in the Course Completed section that advise you on the progress your student is making in that specific course:

1. Course Completed percentage: Indicates how much of the course a student has completed, working towards the ultimate goal of 100% completion.

2. Color coded completion squares: Indicate what the colors in the square blocks just below the Course Completed percentage represent:

• Red : Your student is falling behind in the course

• Blue : Your student is on track with the course

• Green : Your student is ahead of schedule in the course

3. Target Completion: Indicates how far along in the course the student should be.

OVERALL GRADE: The grade your student has earned thus far in the course, based on all activities and assessments he or she has completed:

1. Overall Grade percentage: Percentage grade based on a 0%–100% scale. 2. Color coded grade squares: Quick-reference colors to indicate what your student’s grade is in

the course(s):

• Red : Indicates a grade between 0%–59%

• Orange : Indicates a grade between 60%–69%

• Yellow : Indicates a grade between 70%–79%

• Olive: Indicates a grade between 80%–89%

• Green : Indicates a grade between 90%–100%

COMPLETE COUNT: Indicates the percent of the course completed, calculated by the number of assignments completed vs. the total number of assignments in the course (this number may be slightly different than the Course Completed percentage). RELATIVE GRADE: Represents the grade that your student would receive if he or she stopped working in that course today and received 0% for all unfinished activities. ACTUAL GRADE: Represents the overall grade adjusted for progress. This grade will be lower than the Overall Grade if your student is behind in the course; it will be the same as the Overall Grade if your student is on time or ahead of schedule in the course. TARGET COMPLETION: This is the percentage of the course the student should have completed based on the start and target dates set by the teacher.

15

TAKEN: This shows the number of activities, by category, completed by the student. TOTAL: This shows the number of activities, by category, assigned in the course. GRADED: This shows the number of activities, by category, that count toward the student’s grade. By default, activities such as Vocabulary and Lectures do not factor into the grade; this is why the Graded number is lower than the Taken number. SCORE: This shows the average grades for each type of activity that the student has completed. WEIGHT: This shows how the grade values of the different activity categories combine to form the overall grade.

We are a team, so if you are having any issues please do not hesitate to schedule a meeting with one of our teachers.

Edmonds eLearning Academy

A�endance Policy

Why attendance matters: Attendance habits begin in preschool, helping students learn early on that going to school on-time, every day is important. Consistent attendance will help students do well in high school, college, and at work. Students who miss school are not able to contribute to their classes, miss valuable instruction, and may drop out of school later and limit their future education and career opportunities. What attendance looks like in an online environment: Attendance is every bit as important in an online environment; the difference is that it is more flexible. We measure attendance in eLearning by frequency of accessing courses, the amount of time spent on course work each day, and the number of activities completed. More eLearning Attendance Information: Since we are an A.L.E (Alternative Learning Experience) and choice school, we must comply with state laws to continue the enrollment of students. These laws include that students access their courses regularly and make adequate progress (complete assignments on-time), as well as make weekly contact with at least one teacher . Students who do not access their courses regularly and do not make progress are at risk of being withdrawn from the eLearning Academy. Students who go over 20 school days without contacting a teacher, even if they are accessing their class, will be withdrawn as that is deemed by the state as non-attendance.

17

Edmonds eLearning Academy

Alterna�ve Learning Experience (A.L.E) Policy As required by Washington State, eLearning students must follow A.L.E. requirements to meet state law. This includes that they are: communicating weekly with at least one of their teachers, are on track or ahead in classes, and are logging in at least four times each week and making progress each time. Below is the interventions process that students will be required to complete if they earn an unsatisfactory monthly evaluation.

18

Edmonds eLearning Academy Academic Interven�on Policy

One requirement to remain in good standing at eLearning is to stay on-track or ahead in all classes. It is very important that students make sure they are logging in regularly and are where they should be in their courses each day. Please note that a student may be satisfactory for meeting A.L.E laws, but still could be behind in their classes and require an academic intervention. A.L.E. interventions and Academic Interventions are two separate policies. If a student falls behind a certain percentage in any class, there are interventions that teachers will take to help the student get back on track. Note that this process will be completed for every class the student is enrolled in. For example, if the student is enrolled in three classes, and is behind in three classes, then this process will be followed for each class. Below is a list of percent behind and what intervention follows.

● 0-14% behind: Student is considered in good academic standing.

● 15-25% behind: Teacher will email the student and parent to alert them that the student is falling behind in the course and is in danger of not earning credit. Student will be invited into the Student Learning Center to get help. It is expected that students and parents talk together about a plan for catching up.

● 26-35% behind: Teacher will call the student and parent and discuss the student’s progress, ideas for catching up and making further progress, and letting the student and parent know that if the student reaches more than 35% behind, they will be required to come in for an in-person intervention meeting.

● 35% or more behind: Teacher will call student and parent and arrange an in-person academic intervention meeting that both are required to attend if the student is younger than 18. During this meeting, teacher will talk with student/parent about any issues/struggles that are occurring with course work, and create measurable goals for a 2-week follow up. Note that if the student is 35% or more behind in more than one class, a separate intervention meeting may occur for each course.

● After 2-week follow up: If student still has not made adequate progress on goals created during the in-person intervention meeting, student’s counselor will be notified and student is at risk for not earning credit for the course and/or being withdrawn from eLearning. A second in-person intervention meeting may be required with the student’s counselor.

19

Part-Time Student Expectations Form

This form is signed by the student and parent (if the student is under 18) during the orientation process. This is the cornerstone of our ALE status, and students and families are expected to read and understand this document. We must follow this document as it is part of our compliance as an A.L.E program. Attendance Policy

● All students must access all of their courses within every 5 school days and be making progress (completing activities).

● Even if students are ahead in their coursework, they must still be accessing within every 5 school days.

● Students who do not access and make progress in their course within every 20 school days will be withdrawn from either that specific eLearning course or the Edmonds eLearning Academy per state law depending on the circumstances.

● Students who do not contact at least one of their teachers at least once every 20 school days will be withdrawn from either that specific eLearning course or the Edmonds eLearning Academy per state law depending on the circumstances.

● Students on an intervention plan for unsatisfactory progress may be required to attend the Student Learning Center on-campus.

Minimum Eligibility Requirement

● All eLearning students must have at least a fourth-grade reading, writing, and math level. ● All eLearning students must have advanced independent learning skills. ● This will be verified by reviewing the student's past academic record and state test scores. If

these are unavailable an Edgenuity assessment can be administered to determine if the student meets the minimum eligibility grade level requirements.

eLearning A.L.E Interventions Process Edmonds eLearning Academy is an A.L.E school. Students who do not earn a satisfactory evaluation as defined in their Student Learning Plan will be put on an intervention plan. Students who do not meet expectations for regular contact with their teacher(s) will be put on an intervention plan. If the student is still not meeting base expectations, the student will be required to meet in-person for an intervention meeting and an updated plan. If after this second intervention plan, the student is still not meeting expectations, the student will be required to meet with our principal with their parent/guardian. If after this third intervention the student is still not meeting expectations, they will be withdrawn. The student’s parents/guardians will be notified via email when their student earns an unsatisfactory monthly evaluation, and if their student is at risk for being withdrawn from eLearning. Our goal with the intervention process is to provide positive supports for our students to help them be academically successful.

20

Weekly Contact Students must have weekly contact with their teacher . All student contact must be educational and instructional in nature. This can include communication through email (Edgenuity has a built in emailing system along with an instant messaging system), attending our student learning center or their assigned eLearning classroom, turning in assignments and receiving feedback, instant messaging or phone calls and virtual lab for instructional purposes. This is a requirement of the state of Washington. Examples include but are not limited to the following: a student discussing feedback with their teacher to improve a writing assignment or a student meeting with their teacher in a virtual lab to gain a greater understanding of mathematical concepts. All of our students are encouraged to attend the student learning center face-to-face to meet with specific teachers to get support in their courses. Parent/Guardian contact does not count towards weekly contact. Teacher Communication eLearning teachers and staff are not required to work in the evenings, weekends or holidays. Please contact your teacher by 2 PM on Friday (if this is not a holiday) or 2 PM before a holiday begins to have a test reset, turn in assignments, or have questions answered. This gives your teacher an opportunity to respond to your question before leaving for the weekend/holiday. eLearning Program RCW 28A.250 I understand eLearning is an Alternative Learning Experience as described in RCW 28A.250.

Student Checklist

***Please make sure to start your courses on or before the start date. If you wait until after the start

date, you will be behind and may be required to come in for academic intervention(s) with your teacher(s).***

School Day Responsibilities

❏ Respond to messages daily from teachers and staff. ❏ Check in with teachers (in the SLC or via messages) if you have any questions or are stuck on

any assignments. ❏ Log in and maintain a minimum of 1 hours of coursework each day for each course you are

taking (a minimum of 5 hours per week for each course). ❏ If you are able to keep up with your course map and are working less than 5 hours per

week in each course, that’s fine! ❏ If you are working 5 hours a week on each course and are still falling behind, please meet

with one of your teachers to see if there are other ways that we can support you. ❏ Take notes on the content you are learning in each class. Remember that you can use them on

quizzes and exams. Weekly Responsibilities:

❏ As a student, you are not expected to work over the weekends unless you are behind and trying to catch up!
