Step-by-Step Video Walkthrough: This video contains a full walkthrough of the new Participation process from start to finish. The following videos also provide more targeted information specific to the new Participation feature:

The Participation menu in InfoCenter allows you to submit a daily participation record for each of your students, accurately reflecting their active attendance in the program.

You will also receive a daily check-in from your child’s homeroom teacher to help you keep on track!

On your student’s Weekly Learning Log, you will notice a few new sections: a Participation section, a Participation Log and an Excused Absence Log.

Participation Section

The Participation section shows your student’s participation status for each day of the week.

To update a student’s participation status, click on the day that you would like to update. You will see an Update Participation Status popup, allowing you to choose what you would like to update your student’s status to be.

You can change a day’s participation status for two weeks after the Learning Log is due.

At the bottom of the Participation section, you’ll see a slider. This slider lets you capture your student’s number of instructional hours for the week. By default, the slider will be set to 25 hours.

If you gave a response to that Do you need help with anything? text box while filling out your child’s participation, your response will appear in the Participation Log.

You can update your response in the Participation Log by hovering over a day and clicking on the pencil icon. After you’re done, click Submit to save your changes.

If you have any excused absences for the week, you’ll see the reason for each excuse listed in an Excused Absence Log, directly below the Participation Log. The Excused Absence Log will only appear if your child has at least one excused absence.

Click on a question from the list below to be taken directly to the answer.

At 8 AM, all parents receive a daily reminder email from their student's Homeroom Teacher to help keep you and your students on track.

If your student hasn't submitted their participation by 4 PM, then you'll receive a second reminder. Depending on your Notification Settings, this second reminder will be sent by email, text, or both.

If you'd like to change your settings for the afternoon reminder that's sent at 4 PM, you can update your settings through the Participation page in InfoCenter.

Check out our article How to Edit your Notification Settings for a full walkthrough.

No, all parents will receive the 8 AM reminder by email. Your Notification Settings will only affect the afternoon reminder that is sent at 4 PM.

On the Participation page in InfoCenter, click on the blue Notification Settings button in the bottom left corner of the screen. You'll see this popup:

From this popup, you can choose to receive the 4 PM reminder by text message AND email, by email only, or by text message only.

Currently, the daily participation reminder is only sent to parents. As of right now, students can't receive the daily participation reminder directly to their own email or phone number.

Absolutely! If you have text message reminders enabled, just reply Yes or Y to the 4 PM reminder text, and your student's daily participation status will automatically change in InfoCenter to Submitted.

Keep in mind: If you have multiple students in the program, then replying Yes to the 4 PM reminder text will update the status of all of your students to Submitted. If you need to submit different responses for each student, you can do so through the Participation page in InfoCenter.
