Students will share material with the instructor via Google Docs and Google Drive. If your child does not have access to Google Docs we will make arrangements for an alternate sharing source for your child.

We are able to determine within the first two sessions if a student will benefit from additional support. Because this class is designed to take some of the fear out of essay writing, parents may receive an email from the instructor recommending additional support. Additional support may mean attending another class section for more help, joining our essay practice club, or taking a private lesson.

All homework assignments are broken up into 1-2 hour projects. Students receive about 30 minutes of in class time to work on their essay. Students who do not complete the homework generally end up with more work to do during the week.

The instructor will make 3 attempts to reach families when students either don't show up for class, don't do the homework, or don't participate in class. While this class does not offer a grade, students who do not do the homework will be advised to repeat the course. Families will not be given a discount for repeating the course due to lack of participation.

Attendance policy:
Live classes that are run with only 1 student require a commitment by both the teacher and the student. In the event that this class is not a good fit or that your child's availability changes, we would be happy to assist with providing a class coupon or redirecting to a flex course should we receive notification from the family by the third class. In the event that communication is not relayed or extenuating circumstances arise and your child stops attending class, we will attempt to contact the family. If the student misses 3 consecutive classes then as per Outschool policy, the student will be withdrawn from the course. A class credit will then only be given if the family has had extenuating circumstances and it is solely at the discretion of the organization.
