PARENT/GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITIES

Parents must have a technology back-up plan. Computers and internet do crash or become non-functional. In the event this does occur, communication with your child’s teacher becomes critical. Parents should notify K12 customer support at (866) K12-CARE or (866) 512-2273 immediately if a school loaned computer is malfunctioning. Please note that any equipment loaned to students is not guaranteed to be free from hardware failures. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure an alternative arrangement for submitting and accessing the Online School and High School Courses is made.

Attendance Requirements

Attendance in a distance education program is measured weekly, not daily. As such, students are deemed in attendance for the week if evidence is provided of work progression towards a passing grade in each course as documented through the electronic learning management system. Students who do not sufficiently progress in each course, each week will be deemed absent for that week. Official attendance is recorded by the classroom teacher.

 

Parents/guardians/Learning Coaches of students in a distance education school are also required by law to record student time spent in the Online Learning System (OLS). Learning Coaches must log student work time from the first day of school, August 25, 2014 through June 4, 2015. Attendance can only be entered for a regular school week, Monday-Friday.

 

CHANGE OF CONTACT INFORMATION

Parent/guardians are required to notify the school immediately of any change in name, address, e-mail,phone number(s), emergency contact, responsible adult, or court order designating a change in guardianship. Appropriate documentation must be submitted to verify any changes to student records. This information is part of your child’s educational record and must be kept current.
