Last week, we shared information about Edmentum Sensei for Families, but we discovered that the initial invitations were not reaching our families as expected. We have now manually updated our parent and guardian contacts in Edmentum.

If you have an active email address in Skyward, you should now have received an invitation from Edmentum to register for Family Sensei. Once registered, you can view your student's grades, course progress, assignment completion, time spent working, and upcoming due dates. Check out this video or family guide for support!

Still don't see an invitation? Check your spam or junk folder first. If it's not there, reach out to us and we'll be happy to help!

Students, if you are asked to choose an account when launching Edmentum, select the one that does NOT use your full email address as the username. This is the account connected to your iLearn courses and progress.

A quick note about pacing: Edmentum uses target dates to help students stay on track throughout a course. These are a helpful guide, but don't panic if something on the dashboard doesn't look quite right. Focus on completing your assigned coursework and reach out to your teacher if you have questions about what you should be working on or whether you're on pace.

Edmentum displays a few different grades, and they each tell you something different:

The one to watch for pacing is the On-Target Grade. A student may have a high Current Grade but a lower On-Target Grade. This usually means they are doing well on the work they complete, but may be behind pace. Completing past-due activities will help bring the On-Target Grade back up.

By now, all students and families should have received an introduction from each iLearn instructor, and any required Google Meet sessions should be scheduled. These meetings are an important part of staying connected in a virtual environment and give students regular opportunities to check in, ask questions, and receive support directly from their teacher.

Please make sure students are watching their school email and Google Calendar for meeting invitations and are prepared to attend all required sessions. If you have not heard from an instructor or are unsure about a meeting expectation, please reach out!
