task and is the

responsibility of the

Learning Coach. Click on

the attendance link in the

To do list. Click on the day

you want to add

attendance time to. Add

the correct number of

hours for that day. All

students may be different.

Make sure that the time

logged adds up to a

minimum time needed

every week. For High School students that should be about 28 hours.

Checking the Grade book: From the homepage scroll down to the My Household section. Click on the

green A+ for the student whose grade book you want to look at.

Once you have

opened the

grade book, each

individual class is

a link to the

assignments that

have been

graded.

Lesson

Completion:

Every course has

a percentage of lessons that have already been completed. A general rule of thumb is about 20% per

month that school has been in session. Courses that are labeled A or B are semester courses.

Checking Individual Grades: Once you have clicked the link for a specific

course, you will see all of the lessons that have been finished and

graded or not completed yet. To check the grade of an assessment that

has been graded click the link under points for the given assessment.

Click grade to view

details of assessment.

Click lesson number to

open the online course.

Looking at Graded Assessments:

After clicking the link under

points, this will pull up a new window

with the assessment that has been

taken. You can see the answers that

were submitted and if they were

correct or incorrect, elapsed time,

teacher comments, rubrics, and scores.

Accessing the section message board:

Message boards

Click the purple push pin and a list of message board options will open. There are two kinds of message

board, section message board and school message boards. The section message board is designed for

the students enrolled in the section. There IS a way for parents to see the section message board. I will

give those instructions in a moment. Follow the path to find the message board you want to look at.

Message boards are important to check because this is where teachers and administrators will post

announcements to large group of students. Using these boards should decrease the number of web

mail messages students receive.

Students can choose the section message board from the list when they click on

the purple push pin at the top of the screen.
