What does APS Online look like for my child?
All APS Online students will be assigned an APS Online Mentor who will serve to monitor student progress, meet with students to provide social-emotional or academic support and work with the family to ensure success.
APS Online students will be provided a daily schedule that includes scheduled AM and PM Google Meets with their assigned mentor. Students are expected to spend between 5-7 hours on schoolwork per school day. Most of the school day will be online with opportunities for offline work.
Elementary (4-5): Elementary students' homeroom will begin at 8:15 AM. Students are expected to log in to their daily Google Meet with their assigned mentor each day school is in session to maintain positive attendance. Students will receive live (synchronous) remote instruction in reading, mathematics, social studies, and science using Edmentum’s content and teachers. Parents will serve as their child's Learning Guide. As a Learning Guide, you will assist students with Calvert assignments, and maintain regular communication with the Edmentum teachers and APS Online Mentor.
Secondary (6-12): Secondary students' homeroom will begin at 8:15 AM. Students are expected to log in to their daily Google Meet with their assigned mentor each day school is in session to maintain positive attendance. Students will be able to remain self-directed but will have the option to connect to live (synchronous) remote courses offered using Edmentum's course content and teachers. Students will be carefully monitored to make sure they remain on track to earn credits and redirected to live courses as needed.
