Health
There are 5 times a year to take Health: once in the summer; two times in the fall; and two times in the spring.
It's a great idea to take Health in the summer before school starts to get it out of the way, but also if it is better for your family to take it during the school year, then try to sign up for it when the student is not in a sports season. For example, if your child plays a fall sport, then sign up for it in one of the spring sessions or the summer.
The class runs for 8 weeks and typically has 4 lessons a week. Students typically spend about 30-45 minutes a day to complete a lesson.
The class runs asynchronously - there is no specific time when the student has to meet with the teacher and other students. The class is flexible and students can complete their work at any time of the day. The deadline to submit work is midnight in the student's time zone. Since there is no live element, this class can be completed even during travel or when students have daily sports practice or games.
There is a live teacher who keeps an office hour every day there is a lesson, so if the student needs any help, they can email or call their teacher and get some help or clarification.
In a lesson, students typically read or watch a lesson, complete an assignment, participate in discussion forums with the other students in class, and/or complete an assessment. Students will receive personalized feedback from the teacher on their assignments and receive a grade report once a week.
Student and parent(s) will receive an email with information about accessing the class and orientation for online learning one week before the class starts.
