Students completing the online Health will be using Edgenuity, an online courseware, for the lessons. The Edgenuity curriculum has been aligned with the Olathe School District’s health curriculum and mirrors what is taught in a traditional health class. All your work will be online. There is no textbook.

Use the ClassLink icon on your student computer to log in. If you are on a personal computer, click here to access ClassLink.

The first time you log in you will have to watch an eight-minute orientation video. Watch the ENTIRE video — let it play all the way out — or it will come up again the next time, and every time, you log in until you watch it to the end. This is the only orientation needed for your Edgenuity course.

Once you are logged in you will see a course tile for Health. Click the Health tile to begin working. The next section on this page shows what that looks like. 

In each lesson you will view instructional videos and answer some questions about the lessons. Each module ends with a short quiz which you must pass with 60% or better, or you will need to go through the lesson again. After three failed attempts, you are locked out and have to contact your supervisor for help.

Browsers: Please install and use either the Firefox or Chrome browser on your student computer to complete your work. Do NOT use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Edge. You can view a help page on how to install browsers using the Company Portal.

Edgenuity courses are graded courses; you will receive the letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) you earn upon completing the course. Edgenuity courses do not have regular due dates; only the course end date is a firm deadline. The course pacing guide will indicate if you are on schedule to finish your course on time. The pacing guide is always available to help you measure your progress. Teachers will be monitoring your progress and will notify you, your parents, and counselor if you fall behind or are failing.

Upon logging in you will see your course summary page with a tile for each course you are taking. The tile shows your current grade and your progress bar. Green means you are ahead of schedule, blue means on schedule, and red means behind schedule. The grade shown is your Actual Grade with zeros added in for the work that is late. When you catch up and get back on schedule this grade will raise with no late work penalty. Below is a sample progress screen for a student enrolled in multiple courses.

• How does Edgenuity work?
  The course is about twenty-six hours of watching videos and answering questions. There is no textbook and there are no written assignments. The first time you log in you will watch an eight-minute orientation video. Then click on the course tile for Health and you will go into the first lesson and begin watching videos and answering questions.
• Can you tell me more about orientation?
  Yes. When you log in to Edgenuity for the first time, you will watch an orientation video that's about 8 minutes long. Let it play ALL the way until it stops to avoid having it come up again.
• Are there regular due dates in Edgenuity?
  No. There is a start date and an end date. Edgenuity will show you a progress bar. The progress bar will be red if you are behind, blue if you are on schedule, and green if you are ahead. Edgenuity temporarily calculates zeros for lessons that are late, but then the grades fill in without penalty when you catch up. If you get behind, put in more work time and catch up. Your parents, counselor, and eAcademy will be notified when you are in danger of not completing the course.
• How many attempts do I get on the quizzes?
  You must pass the quiz or test with a score of 60% or better to move on to the next assignment. You get three attempts on each quiz and test. If you still do not pass on the third attempt, your course will lock, and you will need to contact your Health supervisor for assistance.
• Can I take notes during the lessons?
  Yes, you are encouraged to take either paper-pencil notes or electronically in the course. You can use these notes during the quizzes and tests. While the lessons may take a little longer this way, it will take much longer if you have to repeat the quizzes and tests multiple times. So you are smart to take notes.
• Can I retake quizzes for a higher grade?
  You get three attempts on every quiz and test. If you pass but want to try for a higher score, you may retest until you have used your three attempts. After three attempts on a quiz or test you do not get more chances.
• Is this course graded?
  Yes. Your grade will be shown to you on your login screen. It’s graded 90/80/70/60 just like any other class.
• What happens if I don’t finish the course?
  You must finish the course — every lesson. Your progress chart will show 100% complete when you finish. If you don’t complete your Health course, an F will be assigned until you complete the course in credit recovery.

You may begin working in the Health course now. Find your email with login instructions, get your course, and begin.

Remember you must complete the eAcademy Orientation if you have any other courses. You may, of course, do that now and begin working in Health after completing Orientation.
