IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER!
Quarter 1 ended on November 19
We will post grades for Quarter 1 in the Campus Portal at the end of first semester. If you have questions about your student’s grades for Quarter 1, reach out to the Mentor Teacher.
Quarter 2 Began on November 22
Many students are continuing Math and Social Studies in the second quarter - they have the second course in the sequence. Elective courses have switched. Most students will have only 3 courses for Quarter 2. If you have any questions about the schedule, please contact your mentor teacher or Chandra Hanke (hanke@isd14.org).
This quarter ends on January 27, the same time FHS (in-person) ends their semester.
10TH GRADERS: PERSONAL PROJECTS
All 10th grade students have the opportunity to complete a Personal Project via the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. 10th graders should look for an email from their Personal Project Advisor. If you have any questions, please contact the Mentor Teacher.
Grading in the Fridley Online Academy
Algebra 2, World History, Student Success, and support classes for IEP students are offered via Google Classroom. These grades are reported directly in Campus.
All other classes are on Edgenuity.

B 80-84%
C+ 75-79%
C 70-74%
D+ 60-69%

ATTENDANCE!
ATTENDANCE REMINDER
We encourage students to dedicate 4 hours every day to their Online Academy Work.
The minimum attendance requirement is 2 hours a day. Attendance is reported in two periods: a.m. and p.m. If a student only works for an hour on a given day, they are marked present for one of the periods and absent for the other.
The only exception is Thursdays: if a student does not attend the Thursday meeting with their mentor, they are marked absent for the a.m. period.
If your student is ill, please call in to the attendance line (763-502-5609.) Their absence will be excused.

Course Platforms
Fridley Online Academy courses are offered via Google Classroom and Edgenuity. Students can access both of these platforms through their Clever Login.
There are 3 courses this semester on Google Classroom. These courses use Fridley curriculum and are taught by Fridley teachers. The courses are Algebra 2, World History, and Student Success, which is an organization and study skills course. All 9-11 graders took Student Success this quarter and all 12th graders are taking it this quarter.
The remainder of the courses are offered via Edgenuity, which is the platform we used last year. All students have between 1-4 classes on Edgenuity.
