EdOptions Academy teachers will grade submitted activities within 72 business hours. Grading will be aligned to the rubrics to ensure consistency and high expectations. Feedback will be specific and detailed with the purpose of enhancing student outcomes.
The final grade will be comprised of all Mastery Tests, Discussions, Unit Tests, and the End of Semester Test. The End of Semester Test will be weighted at 20% of the Final Grade. The remaining 80% will be divided among the other course activities. Students may take the EOS a second time after remediation to improve their score. Students may submit course work to improve their mastery up to the end of their enrollment time in the course.
6-12: 4-week extensions are available for $50 per enrollment (maximum 2 extensions per 18-week enrollment).

Teachers are expected to answer questions, grade assignments, and provide feedback to students within 24 hours. Almost all questions will be answered within a few hours, but 24 hours should be the maximum response time. Additionally, teachers are required to check email from students once over the weekend. Teachers will also make phone calls or send text messages to students to help facilitate successful completion of the course. Students and parents are expected to respond when teachers contact them with questions or concerns.
