Moodle and Elluminate: Your high school student must have access to a HQT in the areas of English, Math, Social Science , & Science. The CWCS Department courses are one option. ESes enroll their students in these courses in FRED. The students that you have signed up in FRED are expected to attend each of the classes. In order for a student to be part of a HQ Department class the student must log onto Moodle and attend the monthly Elluminate online Sessions. The Moodle course will have a direct link to the Elluminate course.  It is your job to make sure that your student has all the information needed to succeed.The ES must inform the student about the truancy policy found in the HQT overview.

In order for your students to have success for the department courses you must:

  1. Sign up your students in FRED in the desired course
  2. The description and syllabi for the courses can be found in the ES Manual under HQT Courses. (The password for this button is on the ES Welcome Screen in FRED.)  If the student is signed up they need to log onto Moodle immediately. The parent/student are strongly encouraged to attend a Parent/Moodle training before the start of their course. They should go onto Moodle at least weekly to check if their teacher has left them a message. Moodle will have the link for the student to get into Elluminate.
  3. Email the Department Chair with your student’s name, grade, course signed up for, and any details that need to be know about your student.
  4. Order a microphone/headset for your student (required)
  5. Make sure that your student knows that attendance to the Elluminate sessions are required and if they can not attend a session that they need to notify the instructor within 24 hours of the class. Also make sure that you tell your students to log into Elluminate 30 minutes before the class begins. It may take dial up systems this long to load Java
  6. Elluminate Progress Reports (math progress report) must be used by the ES to show student progress on work completed at home. They should email this to the HQT for each student enrolled in an HQT class quarterly: Oct. 1st, Dec. 1st, March 2nd, & May 1st.
