ORIENTATION
We are delighted to have your family as a part of Agora Cyber Charter School community! All Learning Coaches and students begin school by participating in a comprehensive New Student Orientation Program or Back to School Program. These online programs are designed to ease or reintroduce families to the online learning model and equip students with the academic knowledge, skills and technical proficiency needed to successfully access and navigate online platforms, as well as, work in online courses.
Learning Coaches and students will attend instructor-led live sessions, receive real-time interaction, and participate in skill-building activities each day. Students are required to attend live sessions to receive daily instruction and be marked present in school. Students are required to complete daily assignments to further their understanding and demonstrate their ability to meet the daily expectations of the online model.
Specific grade-level information about the Orientation Program is available at the bottom of this page. Please continue reading to review it. Also, check the legal guardian’s email regularly for additional details to prepare for the student’s school start date.
In the meantime, all newly registered families are to complete the checklist below prior to the first day of school.
