Basic school supplies are required for this course. Additional materials may be needed for optional course activities. 

Required Materials: cell phone or scanner, headset or earbuds, coloring materials (markers, crayons, colored pencils), glue or tape, pen or pencil, printer, printer paper, scissors, stapler, lined paper, notebook or binder to organize course resources and work, household objects for activities. 

Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple-choice questions, writing assignments, projects, oral assessments, and discussions. Core courses will use the state-approved grading scale and Special Area courses will use an S or U grading scale.

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
