Elementary FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Attendance Required?
Yes. Class Connect sessions will be labeled optional or required. Required class connect sessions are required for you to attend.
What Do I Do If I Miss a Class?
Email your Homeroom Teacher to communicate your absence. The teacher will release a recording for you to watch so no instructional time is missed. You must email your teacher a summary of what you learned in order to receive attendance.
Is There Flexibility With Content Assignments?
Many assignments do have due dates. Please contact your teacher for individualized needs.
PE Course vs. 30 Minutes of Active Time Per Day?
The expectation is to complete the PE course content as well as having 30 minutes of active time per day. The 30 minutes can be added to attendance time under PE when recording attendance.
Attendance Hours vs. Contacts?
Attendance hours are what Learning Coaches enter in their Learning Coach account or K12 App for their student's daily academic time. Attendance contacts can be made through any two-way, education-related communication with a teacher or advisor.
There are four main ways to make attendance contacts:
1. Attend a live Class Connect session
2. Watch a class recording and email the teacher after watching
3. A two-way, education-related email exchange with a teacher/staff
4. An education-related phone call with a teacher/staff
After a student attends a live class or communicates with a teacher, advisor, or counselor, the staff member will mark your student’s attendance.
Elementary students need at least 1 attendance contact each school day.
