Travel Absences:
It is imperative that students notify the eAcademy office and their course instructor of any planned absences. Generally, we can accommodate short absences when students travel inside the United States. Instructors will have makeup options for students who miss the startup day Zoom meeting, but this is an important meeting and students should make every effort to attend. Multiple absences during the course term can be an issue, and the summer session compacts eighteen weeks of work into eight, so the pace is rigorous. Absences of more than a few days will make it very difficult to complete coursework on time. Students attending various summer camps should also consider the amount of time their coursework will be inaccessible, when making enrollment decisions.

International Travel:
If a student has an international absence of only a few days, it is best to work ahead before leaving, stay offline, and catch up upon return. To access district accounts from outside the United States, students will have to validate their login with the district multi-factor authentication tool on their phone. Absence details should be worked out with the eAcademy office and student's counselor in advance of enrolling to determine if there will be any issues. If the student is not able to do this using their phone, they cannot enroll. To request multi-factor authentication be set up, please enter an Incident IQ ticket at least two weeks before the orientation start day.

PE Workouts:
School-year online PE students complete 40 workouts, an average of three per week through the semester. Summer online PE students complete 30 workouts, an average of four per week, through the eight-week summer term. Students may be able to complete PE workouts while traveling, but should not expect to have time at summer camps or on some family vacations. Students with short absences might be able to accumulate workouts on their Polar monitor while traveling and then immediately upload them when returning. Students who complete multiple consecutive workouts might be able to bank enough workouts to take a few days off. We do not know your travel locations, accessibility, or schedule, so we cannot determine whether you will be able to meet deadlines.  Enrollment decisions should be made with the advice of the counselor and parents.

Scheduling:
If travel prevents you from accessing district websites or your accounts for a significant portion of your semester or summer session, you will be unable to complete coursework, and you should not enroll. See your counselor about adjusting your schedule and enrolling in eAcademy courses when you are not traveling.
