All of your school work will be housed on the website Edmentum. You can access this site by going to https://login.edmentum.com/ and typing the login information that was sent to you at enrollment.
Most students will login using their school google account by clicking the google button. The first time you log in, you will have to allow google to sign you in, but after that you can log in using your optionsined.org school email.
If you are unable to login using your google account. You may try a manual login using the account code OCS. Your login will be the your options email address, and your password is your first name. There are no capital letters required to log in to Edmentum.
Once you have logged in you will see the classes that you are enrolled in. (example picture). Pay attention to the due date for your courses. These deadlines are important for you to earn your credits. You will also see two different grades. The course grade is based on all of the assignments for the entire course. The current grade is based on all of the assignments that have been completed so far. You will also see a stick person. Each morning when you log in there will be assignments that need to be completed for the day. It is likely your stick person will be orange until you complete those daily tasks. If the stick person is green then you are on track or ahead of pace. Your stick person will be pink if you are behind in your classes. This means that you should be spending 4 hours a day, or more, trying to get back on pace.
Once you click on a course in Edmentum it will bring you to a timeline. All of the assignments for the course have due dates listed next to them. There are usually one or two assignments that are due each day. There are many different types of assignments that you will complete which vary by course. Each course is broken into units of study. You must complete the first unit before moving on to the next unit. There are lessons or tutorials that contain the information typically found in a textbook. These lessons also have interactive elements to them for students to watch, click, sort, or review important ideas. Students may take notes over this information and use their notes on the tests. Your lesson may contain resources and reading tools on the left side of the screen such as the speaker tool, dictionaries/calculators, highlighters, or guided notes. At the end of the tutorials or lessons students will take a short quiz about what they have learned. Each unit typically also contains at least one discussion question and unit activity. Students should compose original responses and ensure they’re using school appropriate language when submitting these assignments. Once you have completed all of your assignments and need something unlocked, be sure to reach out to your teacher for assistance. Teachers are available to meet with students that are struggling with their lessons or assignments, just ask!

This short video provides a simplified example of how the three grades are related to one another and the student's performance in a course.
There are three grade metrics you will see in Courseware: Current Grade, Course Grade, and On-Target Grade. Each presents a slightly different picture of how a student is doing in a course.
What is the student's grade for all the work they are expected to have completed by the current date?
Includes all work students are expected to have completed by the current date.
(Any activities that a student has completed ahead of schedule are included as well.)
What is the student's grade based on the work they have completed so far?
Includes only work students have completed so far.
What would the student's grade be for the entire course if they were to stop working now?
Includes all work available in the course.
