Attendance
To meet the attendance requirement as a participant of the Online Academy program, students must be actively engaging and submitting coursework in all courses throughout each week. While there is flexibility within each week, students should engage and submit assignments by the end of the day on Friday. The expectations are clear and allow us to provide this flexible learning opportunity to students while aligning with attendance reporting to the state of Ohio.
