Here are some of the important sections you will use

Course Information: Go here for lots of great info! Learn

how to submit an assignment, attach a file,

Gradebook: This will be your favorite button!

This is where you go to check out individualassignment grades, my feedback after grading,

as well as your final grade in the class. Also, go here to make your second submissions

This is the section for Lessons

“Module” is just a fancy word for “chapter”

Practice Problems

Most lessons provide practice problems. You

should do these before submitting the assignment for a grade. That way you can seek help

if necessary.

Key to Success:Practice Makes Perfect! Especially in Algebra 2, the more you practice

the more confident you will be when doing the assignments, quizzes, and tests.

Pace ChartThis can be found under the Course Information Button.

Fill in your specific dateshere. That wayyou always knowwhat week you’re on and which assignments you should besubmitting.

Key to Success:Staying “on pace” is probably the most important partof being successful online. It’s very easy to fall behind pace and much harder to get back on pace! You have to work double time to get caught up.

Assignments

Notice: “Assignments” and “Worksheets” have twosubmissions (two chances to get a perfect score!)

but Exams have only one submission.

Communication

Key to Success: It’s vital to have consistent communication

with your instructor while taking an online course.

The following are ways we communicate:Monthly Calls – I must talk to you and a parent/guardian at least

once a month to discuss your progress and pace in the course. It is your responsibility to make this call when due.

Oral Components – These appear in your assessments list every other module. It’s a quiz (just a few questions) that you complete with me over the phone. It is your responsibility to call me for the oral components.

Email – I send out weekly emails. Email and phone are our two main sources of communication!

Please read ALL emails and respond when necessary.

Communication – Part 2

Ask for Help!

Algebra 2 is a challenging, high level math. By taking the proper steps (studying, practice problems, asking for help) you will do fine.

Please don’t hesitate to email or call for help when needed. We also have wonderful math

tutors who love to help students with challenging topics. We are all here to help

you SUCCEED!

Grace PeriodVery Important!

Florida Virtual School Policies

1. The first 28 days that you are in a FLVS course is the “grace period”. You may contact your instructor to drop the course with “no grade” during that period.

2. Consistent communication and work habits are expected. It is FLVS policy to drop any student who does not stay appropriately on pace or respond to teacher communications within 7 days. You will be warned during the grace period if you are not on pace so that you can be withdrawn with no penalty.

3. Withdrawing after the 28-day grace period will result in a failing grade on your transcript.

Thank you for taking your time to view this.

Please save this presentation to your computer and use it as a reference

guide as you make your way through the course.

I am very excited to meet you and travel along this Algebra 2 journey with you!
