How to access APEX classes (video link)

APEX Summer School Information for students and parents

1) If a student was signed up for their course by the end of May, they should be loaded and ready to begin on or near the 9th of June. We will be uploading a group of students every few days during the first weeks of June until the registration deadline of June 18. This means that after June 9, there will be a 1-3 day delay between signing up and starting class!

2) Everything must be finished and turned in by 12noon on July 17, no exceptions!

3) Courses are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, online. Students can work on them at any time but may get stopped by a "locked" test or quiz that will require communication with a teacher to unlock. There is no required "in-person" element, so if you are headed out of town for vacation: plan to get the work done before, after, or bring your computer along and use wifi on the way!

4) Students can ask for help from RSD teachers at any time via email or attend "office hours" with their teacher for live assistance. Each teacher will post their own office hours starting on June 16.

5) Courses are not in canvas, they are in APEX. It is an app on the launchpad, clicking on it should log the student in and get them started. (ONLY after courses open!) Once they are logged in correctly, it will be very clear what to do in what order. If students have any questions about what to do or in what order, their teachers or Principal will be happy to assist!

6) Students should use their school district email if possible! Your teachers will communicate with you primarily in that way, please be sure you know how to log in and use Outlook! If you have any questions or need instruction on using your email, please contact your teacher or Mr. Shaber.

7) Parents and Guardians! If you are interested in receiving periodic course updates, please send an email to paul.shaber@rsd.edu - we can add you as a “coach.” The APEX system will directly send you a weekly “progress report” on how your child is doing with their classes!

***IMPORTANT NOTE***: you should only see 2 courses on your app. We asked that students sign up for no more than 2 classes since there is an expectation of 90 hours of coursework per credit, and there is only so much time available in the summer to get coursework completed! If you need more than 2 classes, please contact Mr. Shaber paul.shaber@rsd.edu

You will access those courses by using the https://launchpad.classlink.com/rsd when you log in with your RSD student account.
HOW DO I LOG IN:
- Log in to your student account

Note: In the summer term we have a maximum of 6 weeks if students work through holidays.

Because units are sequential, students who sign up for initial credit will need to finish Sem1 before they can start Sem2.
