Back to School Newsletter
iSucceed Virtual High School
Dear iSucceed Students and Families!
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!!! I hope you found our Welcome Email to be informative with all the information you needed to have a good start to the year. By now, many of you have been working diligently in courses, great job! As an iSucceed student/parent, you will receive this digital newsletter monthly with program information, announcements, parent portal instructions and always a link to our Staff Directory, School Calendar and Technical Support. Please review this newsletter every month but we are always available for help and questions throughout the year!
Keep in mind, that you must log in to our online courses and complete at least 1 assignment for grading in the first 10 days or you will be withdrawn as a non-starting student.
And further food for thought: “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” —Plato
Have a great start to Quarter 1!
- Kathleen Allison, Executive Director and the iSucceed Team
A Message from Your Principal
Hi All,
So far, it's been an excellent start to the school year. We were so excited to start school that we ordered a full solar eclipse for everyone! As I look through the system, I'm very impressed to see students working hard in getting lessons completed right from the start! I'm sure your advisors and instructors have given you lots of great information on how to stay on pace and get through their courses, so I want to bring your attention to 2 items that will also help you:
We've always had this website, but we put a lot of work into it this summer, and will continue to add resources to this. Do you need help figuring out Chromebook basics? Tech support? Don't know how to get into your teachers' live offices? It's all here, and I invite you to click the link here or on the Resource tab on our school's main site to get into our new Resources site and do some exploring. Also, if you can't find something on here or want to see something new, feel free to contact me your advisor to make some suggestions! IMPORTANT: you have to be logged into your school email to see this site.
This is like our school's private Facebook page for staff and students. Click the link here, join the site, and introduce yourself. If you have pictures or something interesting to share with your peers, you can post here. Our staff monitors this site, but this is mainly for students to interact with each other on, so join today! IMPORTANT: you have to be logged into your school email to see this site.
As always, we thank you for choosing our school. If you're returning from last year, we're glad to have you back, and if you're new, we're glad to have you with us. We have an excellent group of highly supportive teachers and advisors, so please reach out if/when you need anything...no question is a dumb question!
Sincerely,
Clayton Trehal
Principal, iSucceed Virtual High School
Hello from the Counselor, Crystal Sistoni!
Greetings Students!
I hope you all enjoyed summer break and are coming back refreshed and ready to tackle the school new year! I know I needed the break!
There is an important deadline to note if you want any class changes for Quarter 1. You will have until Friday, August 25th to add or drop a course. I will be unable to process any requests after that time as we are on a tight quarter schedule.
For those of you who are new to the school, you always start with 3 courses and once you become familiar with the system and are able to pass all 3 courses given to you, you have the option of adding a course to your next term schedule. You will request this by contacting me. If you are returning you will not be given 4 classes if you can't pass the 3 that have been given to you. Once you pass 3 classes then you will be able to request a 4th. This is all about student success and I never want to set anyone up to fail.
I will be contacting all graduating seniors this quarter, so you know where you stand but feel free to be proactive and contact me first.
If you are a Junior this year you will be taking the SAT in April as a graduation requirement. You can start preparing by clicking here for the free SAT prep course.
If you are a Senior that hasn't taken the SAT, you will need to do so and can register by clicking here.
Remember I have a wide array of resources for parents and students if you click here and visit my resource page on our web site. Note: You must be logged on to your school email to view this page.
Sincerely, Your Counselor Crystal Sistoni
