Support for Students
The Corvallis School District is committed to supporting our students with their online learning. Below is an explanation of that support.Program Description: Corvallis Online offers over 70 online courses to high school students within the Corvallis School District. There is no charge for a course if the course is part of the student’s regular 14-credit allocation. Courses are available on a tuition basis for students who wish to add a course beyond their 14 credits. All courses are taught by Oregon licensed teachers.
There are a limited number of slots available, and first-time online students are limited to one course/semester. Students who are self-directed have been the most successful in this online environment.
Support for Online Students:: Each high school has a staff member to specifically support students taking online courses. All online students meet with their support person to set up a learning contract and to spend the first two weeks of their course in a small lab during their open block. These initial two weeks of support will help to establish a good connection between the student and their online instructor. Following the two-week period, students are free to work on their own time (provided they are maintaining a C or above, and are keeping up with their assignments) but also have the option of continuing to work in the lab. All courses are accessed through the web with an updated web browser. Textbooks and other required support materials are provided through the school’s Book Room.
