The student journey

10 steps from registration to growth

Every student follows this path — supported at every step by tutors, mentors, and parents.

1

Register online

A parent or guardian completes the student registration form online. The form collects basic student and family information, program interests, and emergency contact details. Registration takes under 5 minutes and is completely free.

2

Parent consent

Parents review and digitally sign the consent agreement during registration. This covers participation, privacy, volunteer interaction, online learning, and parent supervision expectations. All agreements are legally clear and written in plain language.

3

Teacher review and approval

The program coordinator reviews the registration and activates the student account within 1–2 business days. Parents receive a notification when the account is approved and ready to use.

4

Grade-level placement

Based on grade level and program interest, students are placed in the appropriate Math and/or English learning track. Students may also complete an optional brief placement activity to help tutors understand their current skill level.

5

Access the student portal

Students log in to their personal portal to access assignments, course notes, grades, and the Q&A board. The portal is accessible from any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile.

6

Weekly assignments

Tutors post weekly SBAC-aligned assignments in Math and/or English. Each assignment includes a description, due date, and week label. Students work through assignments at a consistent weekly pace to build strong study habits.

7

Q&A and tutor support

Students can post questions on the Q&A board at any time. Volunteer tutors respond with guidance, explanations, and encouragement. All communication is within the platform — private messaging outside the portal is not permitted.

8

Grades and feedback

Tutors review completed work, assign scores (0–100), and provide written feedback. Students see their grades in the My Grades section. Parents view the same information in their parent portal — full transparency at all times.

9

Progress monitoring

Coordinators and tutors regularly review student progress. Students who fall behind or miss multiple weeks without communication are checked in on personally. No student is left without support.

10

Continued growth

Students advance through their learning track, building skill and confidence over time. Milestone recognition, achievement badges, and certificates of completion are planned for future program phases.
