Your Child’s Responsibilities

As an online student, your child will spend part of their day logged into their online classroom. Younger children spend less time on a screen than older students, but all students engage with dynamic lessons and are expected to complete assignments, quizzes, tests and class projects by certain deadlines. If your child needs help at any point along the way, they can quickly connect with their teachers or turn to you for guidance and support.

School Day Expectations

At Lighthouse Connections Academy, you’ll love having more freedom when planning the school day. Your child can handle many of their lessons at whatever time of day works best—and their teachers are ready to lend a hand whenever you or your child needs guidance. While some tasks are on a fixed schedule, the increased flexibility of Lighthouse Connections Academy opens a lot of possibilities, whether your child wants more time to work on their art, practice a sport, volunteer in the community, or have more moments to themselves.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Your Role as a Learning Coach 

As your child’s Learning Coach, you’ll provide essential, day-to-day support for your student. Although the specifics of your responsibilities will shift as your child gains confidence and independence, you can expect to:  

  • monitor attendance and participation 

  • help structure your child’s day using our online scheduling tool

  • stay in touch with teachers by phone or email 

  • provide one-on-one support with learning activities
