We're excited to welcome you and your family to the Insight school community! At Insight, we believe that every student has the ability to succeed and we're here to support that journey every step of the way. Our caring team of teachers, counselors and administrators work together with learning coaches to ensure each student receives the instruction, encouragement and guidance they need to reach their full potential. We look forward to partnering with you for a successful and rewarding school year!

Even if you/your student attended another K12 school and transferred to Insight (from CAVA, IQ or other K12 school) you are still considered a "new" student or learning coach.

You will need to:

• Create NEW LC/Parent and student accounts for the OLS (Online School)
• Attend the mandatory Strong Start Orientation and Walk to Class Orientation
  

Learning Coaches (and students too) choose one session listed below and add it to your personal calendar. No RSVP or sign up needed. Your attendance will be recorded during the session. The orientation is held online via Zoom, which means you can access the session from a computer, tablet, or smart phone! We are also offering sessions completely in Spanish.

There are two parts to the Orientations at Insight:

The Strong Start Orientation (SSO) is just that, an overview of getting started and ensuring you and your student have a strong start at Insight. This is geared for the Learning Coach/Parent and is attended in one session prior to the start of the school year (students are welcome and encouraged to attend too). During the Strong Start Orientation, you will be given an overview of Insight and will have an opportunity to ask questions and ensure you and your student are prepared for the fist day of school. Please be sure you have completed all items on the New Student Checklist prior to attending Strong Start Orientation. You can find the link for the checklist above under "Helpful Documents".

The second part of orientation refers to your student attending the mandatory Walk To Class Orientations (W2CO) the first two days of school. This will go more in depth about the ins-and-outs of how to attend our school, and is just for the student. We will cover things like, how to attend live sessions, take quizzes, submit assignments and check grades, plus much more. Your student will find the Walk to Class Orientation sessions on their schedule, within their Online High School Platform (OLS).
