learning plans, to conducting interactive classes online,
to discussing grades and assignments, our teachers are

Involved Parents/Guardians Ensure Success
Involved parents or guardians play a vital role at JSerra
Online. Parents or guardians work closely with students
and their teachers to help develop and deliver an
individualized approach to instruction and learning.
The parent or guardian supervises the student’s daily
activities, encourages progress, and communicates
regularly with the class teacher to ensure the student
stays on track.

JSerra Online uses a proprietary technology built
specifically for online instruction in 9-12 which allows
us to bring the classroom to any student with access
to an Internet connection.
Under the direction of our teachers, students access
and complete coursework online, as well as submit some
assignments by mail. Students, teachers, and family
members communicate through our own secure email
system, on dedicated message boards or by telephone.
Our online grade book also allows students and parents or
guardians to track their progress at any time of night or
day and make sure they’re staying on course, and families
are able to monitor students in all grades within the
household through one convenient system.
