Conneaut Area City Schools

Here is an overview of the online program that will be offered by CACS through the Ashtabula County ESC this year: We have selected Edmentum's EdOption Academy which is a K-12 program that offers both live lessons (synchronous) and self-paced lessons (asynchronous) for students from Ohio Certified Teachers. Students enrolled in grades K-5 will receive live lessons Monday - Thursday in ELA, math, science, and social studies each week. These live lessons would range from 30-60 minutes each and combine with other asynchronous work that students complete on their own. Additionally, students in grades K-1 will also receive asynchronous instruction in health and physical education, while students in grades 2-5 will receive asynchronous instruction in art and physical education. Teachers will also have scheduled office hours to assist students with work as needed. Students enrolled in grades 6-12 will receive live lessons in ELA, math, science, and social studies two times per week. They can also be enrolled in up to three other courses depending on your school's specific course of study. They have 400 courses to choose from that should meet the needs of all school districts. Teachers will also have scheduled office hours to assist students with work as needed. Teachers for all students in grades K-12 will act as the teacher of record for the students enrolled in this program. They will also meet with students and their families two times per month to discuss progress and performance. CACS families were asked to register by July 30. We are re-opening the registration form until this Friday, August 20. Start date for classes is targeted for August 31.
