Dear Families!

As a school staff we have designed an e-Learning program that we believe will meet the needs of our students. We may need to adjust as we go, and we appreciate your support and flexibility as we navigate this new territory together.

This email provides you with information regarding the details of the program, as well as a handful of frequently asked questions. Please stay in touch with your child’s teachers, they are ready to support you though this journey.

Asynchronous Learning

We understand that moving to an e-Learning program impacts the entire family. As such, we will be adopting an asynchronous learning program. This will allow needed flexibility to navigate technology and family schedules. Students will be expected to log in daily and complete assignments. However, families have the option to “go to school” at the times that work best for them.

Daily Structure

We strongly recommend that families create a schedule for e-Learning. The schedule will help provide the students with a sense of structure which helps to lessen anxiety.

Designated Space

Choose a space for learning. A desk, a kitchen table, the dining room, etc. Avoid spaces like beds and couches whenever possible. Stock the space with everything your child will need for e-learning including a drink, power cords, headphones, paper, pencil, and a comfy chair. Having everything readily accessible will help them to focus on the task at hand.

Computer Access

Students will need computer and internet access. While many lessons/resources may be accessible on a tablet, a computer is recommended. 

Logging into Edsby

Edsby will be the hub for our e-Learning program. Each student already has an Edsby account which includes access to each of their classes. This is where teachers will post the daily assignments, links to videos, and any materials needed. Email will be going out Sep 1st your child’s username and/or password.

Contacting Teachers

Teachers will be available daily for questions or support. While students are welcome to complete assignments at any time, please allow teachers 24hr to set apt. for one on one learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t have a printer/scanner, will that be an issue?

Absolutely not! Some teachers may choose to post worksheets/graphic organizers that require completion. If you do not have access to a printer/scanner you have a few options:

• Type answers in a word document/Edsby message/or email and send it to the teacher
• Write answers on a separate sheet of paper. Take a picture and send it to the teacher

 Do we need a microphone/web camera?

No. Since we are adopting an asynchronous learning platform students will not be participating in live sessions.

Any other tips for students before we get started?

• Establish a daily routine to support your learning
• Identify a comfortable, quiet space so you can work effectively and successfully
• Check online communication regularly
• Complete assignments with integrity and academic honesty, showing your learning
• Communicate with your teachers regularly
• Take breaks, play, be active

Dear LPA Family,

We at Legion Preparatory Academy would like the thank you for trusting us with your child or children 2019-2020. Although Covid-19 affected the year by causing us to end early, we made it through. Now that the school is over and we are making plans for the 2020-2021. I would like to lay-out LPA new norms.

2020-2021 Plans:

1. Class will only be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or homeschool online only
2. Class will start 9:00am to 3:00pm full-time and 9:00am to 12 part time (no clubs) Students will sign in every morning and with temp check.
3. Lunch hour will be 12:00 to 12:45 only cold lunches.
4. All classes will be available online. Parents will be able to customize their child(s) learning. Classes are only a semester long to give each student the opportunity to change classes. That also mean you will have to register for classes in the Fall and Spring.
5. Your child or children will need a chrome book, internet to access classes and whatever other material(s) he or she will need for the class. All classes and class description will be on the website.

Students can take fully accredited online classes for grade K-12. This will be more of a one on one teaching/tutoring. More details about classes and prices can be found on the school website www.legionprep.org. We are looking forward to the new school year 2020-2021.  Fall register is open NOW!!!
