How to have successes Online
Online Learning is Hard! You must have a high level of self-discipline and be able to manage yourself in order to stay on-track to finish your course work and be successful. It is not Facebook, video games or surfing the Internet. It is HARD Work. Flexible Scheduling You are able to work on your coursework 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can work on weekends, holidays, and school vacations. Need to Login and Work Daily Students need to stay on track to finish at the 9-week end date. You can work ahead. All Lessons are Online Most everything you need is provided through the PEAK Learning Management System for middle school and high school. Elementary students will receive supplies via UPS. Email is the Primary Means of Communication Check your email several times each day. Sometimes time sensitive information is emailed to the student. Respond within 24 hrs. Online Requires Attendance Reporting Students must make two (2) teacher contacts every week to be present for five (5) days and the teacher determines if the student is making progress. Contact can be by email, phone call, Google Forms or Zoom meetings. Minimum Work Required Set up a Routine for when you are going to work and where you are going to work.
