Coach Reports

Coach Reports

The iSierra Online Academy does not send home "report cards", nor do we enter grades into Aeries in the traditional fashion.  However, in partnership with our digital curriculum provider, APEX Learning, we utilize a system called Coach Reports.  As a parent/guardian, you have been designated as an academic coach for your student.  

Please note that you MUST provide an email address to use this system.  If you do not already have one, please create one and send the email address to your student's Supervising Teacher.  We cannot use your student's email address for a Coach Report.

As a coach, you will receive weekly emails every Sunday that give you an overview of how your student is doing in his/her APEX Learning course(s). You can use this information to keep an eye on your student's performance and as a conversation starter if he/she appears to be struggling. 

The Coach Report categories help you understand how your students are progressing in their online courses.  Select the Coach Report categories below to better understand how to evaluate your student’s progress.

  • Stoplight: (Is my student falling behind in their work?)

    These colors represent the On Schedule Percent - the number of graded activities a student has completed due through today divided by the total number of activities due through today. 

    GREEN 80% or more activities are turned in ON SCHEDULE Your student is submitting their assignments on-time, according to the due dates set up in your student's Enrollment Details Report
    YELLOW Only 60% to 79% activities are turned in on schedule Your student is behind in submitting assignments, according to the due dates set up in your student’s Enrollment Details Report. CAUTION!!
    RED Only 59% or less of your student’s assignments are turned in on schedule

    A failing number of assignments have not been submitted.  DANGER!!

     

    **PLEASE NOTE**  Assignments can be labeled behind/overdue if they are ungraded.  Please have your student show you their Enrollment Details Report for each class with overdue assignments to determine whether they are overdue because they are ungraded or not submitted.

  • Quality of Work: (Is my student on track to pass the course?)

    This percentage is the points your student has earned on completed activities divided by the points possible for completed activities. 

    Please note:

    A student with a percentage below 60% is failing. 

    A student with a percentage above 60% is passing the work that has been submitted.  IF a student is not caught up to their due dates, they are in danger of not earning full credit for the course. 

  • Grade to Date: (What is my student’s grade right now?)

    This percentage shows how many points your student has earned so far compared to the points possible on assignments that were due. Keep in mind it’s only exact if all grading is up to date.

    A low percentage could indicate ungraded work and/or work not submitted.  If you have questions, please reach out to your student’s teacher.

     

  • Last Access: (When did my student last open his/her course?) 

    This tells you the date your student last accessed (opened) their course. All Independent Study students should be working in their courses daily, as well as working a minimum of 5 hours each day.  While students in the 9th Period Online Program have a bit more leeway in regard to daily access, more than a few days without accessing and working in their course is cause for concern.  More than a week is cause for serious concern.  Two or more weeks means a potential failing grade/loss of credit or a potential drop from the program.  

    Please note:  a student can be accessing (opening) their course without actually working in it.  

  • Detail Report: (Did my student work online yesterday/during the time he/she stated, etc..., and how long?) 

    Select the Detail Report link next to the student's name for detailed information about how your student is spending their time in their course. This report tells you to the minute how many times and for how long each time your student was in their course.

    *Please Note*  “Other” in the report shows time the course was opened, but no pages were being turned.
