Sound Learning classes are conducted in what might be known as a hybrid format. While classes do meet once a week for lecture and activities, students and parents are required to communicate with the teacher throughout the week. As such, there are a few requirements in place.

Students/Parents will need:
– Daily access to Google Classroom
– Consistent internet access
– Computer access for daily work
– Word processing software (Microsoft Office is highly recommended. Google Docs is an acceptable substitute.)
– Basic office supplies (stapler, three ring binder, hole punch)
– Textbooks as required by each class*
– A printer (handouts are generally not distributed in class by teacher – students are responsible for printing assignments, handouts, etc)

*Some teachers provide students with the opportunity to rent textbooks on a yearly basis. Others require the purchase of textbooks

Additionally, students and parents need to be familiar with the responsibilities placed on them upon enrollment in a Sound Learning class. These include but are not limited to . . .

Student Responsibilities:
– Attend class on a regular basis, responding attentively to the classroom environment
– Communicate with the teacher when needed – turning in assignments in person or via e-mail, checking grades, etc
– Complete homework daily
– Work with a parent in the learning process
– Check Google Classroom daily
-Read and agree to our policies as set forth in the 2024-25 Sound Learning Handbook

Parent Responsibilities:
– Proctor exams, tests, and quizzes in the home setting
