Once completed, exam scores are entered into the electronic gradebook to complete the quarterly grade average for each course. They are also made available for parents’ inspection and they are transferred to the students’ permanent record folders.

v Parents and Students are given full access to the program features and may challenge any course by "testing out" for full course credit.

Option B (Independent Study):

v Students receive a written daily schedule showing exactly when to begin and end each subject.

v Parents receive access to online answer keys, weekly and unit tests and their answers, as well.

v Parents grade all work and record grades to an electronic grade book.

v At the end of each 10-week grading period, hardcopies of students' written assignments and parent's grade sheets are sent by mail to ROA for recording to student's transcript. (Note: parents have the option of recording their daily and weekly grades electronically on the Red Oak Academy e-learning server).

v Parents may still consult with online teachers and staff for assistance on grading students' work or any other issues, if needed. Students may still challenge and "test out" of any course for full course credit.

v Students receive a written daily schedule which clearly shows live classes and independent study periods. Live class access is established immediately (before textbooks arrive).

v In live teacher-led courses, parents grade daily work assignments and Red Oak Academy teachers award grades for weekly quizzes and in-class participation, grades are recorded collaboratively, whereby parents' grades and teacher's grades are distinguished by color coded entries into the online gradebook but averaged together (automatically) to create a composite score for the quarter.

v Quarterly exams are administered and timed by Red Oak Academy grading staff, online. Once completed, exam scores are entered into the electronic gradebook to complete the quarterly grade average for each course. They are thereby made available (electronically) for parents’ online inspection and they are transferred by hand to the students’ permanent record folders.

Red Oak Academy maintains permanent academic record folders for all students. Quarterly grade averages are recorded to the permanent record folders and transcripts of student grades and performance are available to parents, at any time.

Students and Parents are encouraged to follow the beginning and end dates for 10 week quarters. However, students working ahead to obtain early course credits AND students working at a slower pace for reasons pertaining to ill health or as dictated by the student's IEP - may be exempt from quarterly deadlines.

Disability Services:

1. Red Oak Academy provides referrals for expert evaluation, diagnosis and therapy for students with all learning disabilities, including dyslexia and attention deficit disorders. Once the student has been professionally evaluated, ROA will assist parents in the selection of appropriate grade-level materials. Modifications to student feedback and workload are customized with parent approval being the final step in the process.

Red Oak Academy does not provide advocacy for parents who believe they have experienced discrimination in a publicly funded school setting. Red Oak Academy refers parents to the complaint process offered by the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights.
