Communication Policy

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, "any pace" still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple-choice questions, projects, Discussion-Based Assessments, and discussions. Students and families are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers because when teachers, students, and parents or guardians work together, students are successful.
