Billings Public Schools will be using Edmentum as the virtual learning platform for grades K-5. Students will be enrolled by the school district into Edmentum using their teachers to deliver content, provide student support and grading. Edmentum is a synchronous and asynchronous learning platform that will require a strong commitment from the student and family to obtain success. Families should expect to be monitoring and engaged with their child on a daily basis.
All virtual learning courses will follow Billings Schools grading periods however students in the Edmentum program should adhere to the instructional calendar designed by Edmentum which may require student attendance in virtual learning during non Billings Public School days.
Textbooks for K-5 virtual learning students can be picked up at the Lincoln Center room 107.
Keys to Student Success in a virtual learning platform:
Student has a structured routine each day that includes waking up, getting prepared for school, eating breakfast, and having all necessary supplies and technology tools ready to go to begin the day.
Daily commitment to log in each day to live lessons through Edmentum program.
Camera is "ON" and student is actively participating with teacher asking questions and requesting support when needed.
Parents/guardian is engaged on a daily basis with the student on their academic journey.
