We keep children\u2019s schoolwork organized, engaging, and visible to you as a parent in our interactive online learning platform called the Online School. The K12 platform is your one-stop-shop for online learning and this guide is designed to help parents and students get set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Online School (sometimes known as the OLS) is designed for students and their families. The features and resources available through the K12 platform help keep learning on track and the items you need accessible at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the K12 platform, your student can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you as a parent can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The K12 platform has features that support each student\u2019s learning journey, whether they\u2019re working through assignments independently, collaborating with classmates on a project, or getting more one-to-one assistance from their Learning Coach<\/a> (that\u2019s what we at K12 call your role as a parent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on for a more detailed K12 platform guide for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you enroll at a K12-powered school, you\u2019ll get an email from registration@k12.com<\/a> about setting up your Online School accounts. You\u2019ll set up one for yourself (as the parent) first, and that will help you complete your student registration. After that, you\u2019ll set up a separate Online School account for your student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating your accounts only requires some basic information and shouldn\u2019t take long. Once you\u2019re in, you can take your time exploring all the different features and resources. If you have more questions about setting up your accounts, you can reach out to help.k12.com<\/a> for in-depth assistance or visit our FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the largest benefits of online school is being able to take classes and assignments on the go. With the K12 online platform, school is organized all in one place for students, plus parents have extra visibility into what their kids are learning and how they\u2019re doing in classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student accounts let children view and access their classes and assignments, communicate with teachers and classmates in monitored virtual environments, and even collect award badges for completing skills activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parent accounts let you into your child\u2019s learning. You can track their progress in each class, view their grades, reach out to teachers for extra support, and more. The Online School is also where you can see shipping and tracking information for your child\u2019s educational materials that get sent out at the beginning of the school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are slightly different versions of the K12 online learning platform for students in grades K\u20135 and then students in grades 6\u201312. The platform for younger students is designed for more direct engagement of parents since we know children require more attention to work through their classes and assignments at this age. The platform for older students is designed with more independent learners in mind, even though parents still have the same visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour K12 Platform Account Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
