What is my role?
As a parent, you (or another responsible adult) serve as your child’s Learning Coach. You’ll work with your child’s teacher to help record student attendance, monitor mastery of online lessons and assessments, and in some grades, review student work.
Younger students need considerable Learning Coach support. In middle school and high school, students work more independently, and the Learning Coach role transitions to one of oversight.
How much time will my child spend online?
In the younger grades, many of the online lessons include offline work. Students in grades Kâ2 spend about 30â40 percent of their time on the computer, while students in grades 3â5 spend about 50â60 percent of their time online. Screen time increases in middle school, and by high school, most of the school day is online.
How do students interact socially?
Students spend time with classmates online and through school outings, field trips, and other activities. In addition to school-based clubs, K12 online national clubs help connect students with like interests and passions.
