Maintain pace in your coursework

Learners are expected to be "on pace" in all classes weekly or no more than 3% behind.
The necessary online activity time needed to maintain pace varies from learner to learner.

Maintain appropriate school attendance

It is expected that students exhibit regular school attendance, even in an online setting. Without regular attendance and submission of assignments a student is placing his/her academic goal of passing the course, grade advancement, and earning sufficient credits required for graduation in jeopardy. In addition, Central York School District regards cyber truancy in the same manner as truancy from the traditional school.
