Parent Responsibilities

Research indicates that students are more successful when parents are involved in their child's education. To that end, I am asking parents/guardians to give their email address and phone number so that a user name and password can be created for you in our system.

This id/password will be emailed to you along with instructions on how to log in, where to find your child’s grades and contributions to online forums etc. You will have access to your child’s information only. You will not have access to the course material.

It is my hope that you will take the time to check in regularly with how your child is doing: making sure that they are getting assignments done and submitted in a timely manner, participating in the online forums and doing the tests. Together we can make sure that your child is successful in their online experience! Thanks for your help.
