Please make sure your child logs in and completes 30 minutes each day. Remember, if someone helps them answer the questions, or read the words on the screen, the lessons they will see will get harder. It is important that that once you help them get to the right screen, you let them do all the work. I promise if you do, the lessons will adapt and be just right for your child.

This is free app that will allow you to connect with your child's teacher and receive class announcements!

Please DO NOT complete any lessons the week of Orientation EXCEPT for the 3 Orientation lessons listed above.

Once you begin courses (next week) your teachers will exempt you from anything that was assigned prior to your first class day... DO NOT PANIC when you see "Overdue lessons 500"... NOTHING is overdue

Just focus on the "To Do List" and everything will be fine!

Please arrive by 1:25 pm and wait for the room to open.

Enter with your microphone muted and your camera on.

Cameras are required for all live sessions.

If the Learning Coach is available to attend, please do, but attend with your student. Do not log in under your LC information.

If the student does not log in with their student info, the system does not mark them present.

Log into the laptop with your student ID ASAP and if you have any issues with the device, contact the Help Desk ASAP by going to: http://www.help.k12.com/s

Occasionally the devices are missing software and we need to replace them or push something out remotely.

Think of this like "Facebook for WVVA Learning Coaches"! When you join you will see the exciting things our students are doing, and you will be the first to get information as it is released!

You can connect to other LCs and get advice/help from the people who have been and are currently where you are now!

Please try to do this by Friday!
