Edgnuity also has an on-demand tutoring service in which conversations between teachers and students are recorded, Jordan said.
Argyle ISD will, however, have a student success coach for online students to check in with for general help. Jordan said students will not be allowed to schedule virtual classes between two in-person classes.
“Virtual classes must be scheduled before or after [a student's] block of in-person classes because students cannot come and go during the day,” Jordan said. “This is mostly for safety reasons. We need to know when students are on campus.”
Here are other logistics families may want to know about the program:
- SOAR students can participate in UIL and clubs, but will have to be on campus for activities.
- Parents must provide transportation unless students are riding the bus at the normal arrival or dismissal time.
- Virtual learners with disabilities may be provided limited accommodations on an individual basis.
- Advanced Placement, honors and dual credit classes are available only for in-person learning.
- Students must log attendance by submitting an assignment, logging into Egenuity or submitting a Google form about other class work.
- Students will be issued a Chromebook.
According to the district, a successful virtual student is self-motivated, organized, honest and responsible. The student is expected to self-advocate, complete classwork and be comfortable with technology and online collaboration.
