Learning Coaches (Grades K-8)
As a parent/guardian, we want our child(ren) to be successful. When you select the DASD Cyber Academy, you'll be by their side to provide support, as needed, to ensure they thrive in a virtual learning environment.
Does a parent have to be present for cyber school courses? Here's what we've learned through working with Dallastown families: While you don't always have to be in the room, you'll need to monitor your child's daily learning and make sure they understand and are able to complete their daily lessons. And you'll do that as your child's Learning Coach.
As a Learning Coach, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll be able to provide your child with a level of support and guidance that no one else can, and you'll get to watch them learn, progress, and succeed.
