All content is through APEX and is designed to be completed remotely. You will have a teacher in each class, but the material is asynchronous. You can arrange to meet with your teacher remotely if you have questions or need help, but there are no mandatory class meeting times. You will complete work mostly at your own pace but will be contacted if you're not on track with completing the class before the session deadline.
Grading is based on computer-graded quizzes, tests, and teacher-graded material with feedback.
Students may resubmit discussion boards and assignments to improve their grades if they missed key concepts.
Please contact your school counselor to make sure you select the correct classes.
Students will be contacted through their PSD Email with instructions for starting a class. Please make sure you can access your PSD Email.
Students may complete multiple classes in this session. Students should:
- Register for their first online class. If you plan to take Physical Education, register for this class first.
- When the student is almost finished with the first class, contact Bianca Katz, bkatz@psdschools.org, with your student name, ID#, and name of the course to sign up for the next class
- NOTE: Students should allow 2 weeks minimum to complete a class (3 weeks for PE). There are no extensions.
These are NOT Block courses. Each class is 5 credits. To earn 10 credits in a subject area you must sign up for Semester 1 (A) and Semester 2 (B). Remember, you can only work on one class at a time.
All classes close at 3:00 PM with no extensions. Students are encouraged to submit all material two days before the end so there is time to make corrections.
