STUDENT READINESS. Student success in a PeruCSD ONLINE High School course is dependent on many factors: academic ability, reading skills, computer skills, habits of mind, parent support, and technology access are among these essential factors.

Students must be comfortable accessing and reading information on a computer for long periods, and have some basic ability to troubleshoot technical issues that may be encountered. Habits of Mind: Online course work requires strong organizational and time management skills. Students must be independent, self-directed learners who are capable of staying on task while working from a virtual lab, home, or other remote location. Students must be committed to managing assignment due dates, and asking for help when they need assistance. Students must access the course on a daily basis and check email regularly for communications from the teacher. Parent Support: Parent/guardian support is important to the success of online students. Parents must be aware of the online requirements, monitor work habits and progress, and ensure appropriate technology access at all times. Students should have someone who can provide technical assistance as necessary as well.
