What happens if I do not complete my assignments?
Remember, you signed a master agreement pledging to complete a minimum of three (3) online lessons per day, fifteen (15) lessons per week. In addition you were assigned other courses offline which may have included fine arts, vocational education, community service, and or project based learning.
If you do not complete the required assignments a warning letter is sent home stating that you are being placed on academic probation. If you are under the age of 18 you will be required to come to the school daily until all lessons are made up.
Remember – “You can do this”
Who do I call if I have questions?
