Before you begin, lets go over some

important information

Topics Covered1. Grace Period 2. Required Contacts (DBAs, Monthly calls)3. Pace 4. Academic Integrity 5. Troubleshooting

Grace Period

A grace period is like a ‘free trial’

This starts after you complete your welcome call and are activated in

the course.

The grace period lasts for 28 CALENDAR DAYS.

If you drop within the grace period, there is no grade penalty, and you will need to meet

with your counselor to find an alternate course.

If you drop after the grace period or do not complete the course by the deadline, it may

result in the issue of an “F” for your final grade.

Required ContactsMCs, DBAs, Sick/Vacation Days

Monthly Calls (MC’s)

A call to discuss progress & answer questions. This may be completed via email as

well. (only if the parent & student emails are different!)

This must be completed with the student and a

parent/guardian.

Discussion Based Assessments (DBA’s)

A graded phone call in which your instructor will discuss some of the

key elements of the unit.

This is a chance to show what you have learned!

If you get sick and cannot work for a week or if you have computer issues, please contact your

instructor, so that alternate plans can be made.

You have the same holiday/vacation time built into each segment of the course as all Pasco

County schools

Please email or call your instructor before taking a vacation week outside these designated dates.

Sick/Vacation Time

PaceWeekly expectations and Pace Carts

For each course, you are expected to make

progress EVERY WEEK.

Instructors have created Pace Charts for every course that incorporate Pasco eSchool dates and

deadlines.

questions.

Completing the weekly assignments is REQUIRED, and not staying on pace can result in your removal from the course.
