WPSD Online Program (Grades K-12)

Woodland Park School District’s online program utilizes curriculum from K-12 Fuel Ed for Grades K-5 and Edgenuity for Grades 6-12. These programs are managed through an online computer system, but, depending on the class and level, may also include textbooks, reading books, hands-on materials, writing assignments, etc.

Follow-up and assistance are provided through our Liaisons.

Our online program is very rigorous and requires significant parent/learning coach involvement, especially in the younger grades. They don’t “go it alone,” however, as our Liaisons, Beth Woods and Diana Roberts, make themselves available to answer questions, problem solve, and even help in content areas when necessary.

Online students have access to fine arts and other enrichment opportunities.

WPSD Online Program may be used as a full curriculum including both core classes (English, Math, Science and Social Studies) as well as enrichment classes. Or students have the option to attend our Enrichment Academy (Grades K-8) or supplement their online courses with on-campus classes (Grades 6-12).

There is no cost to families who enroll in the WPSD Online Program, as long as students are enrolled and working on the curriculum by September 15. All students must complete an enrollment packet found on our website or by contacting either Mrs. Woods or Mrs. Roberts (see contact information below). We recommend that students enroll in early August to ensure curriculum will be available by the start of the school year. After September 15th options may only be available with fees.

WPSD will provide some help to get started.

Each student that registers for a full WPSD Online core curriculum (at least four online courses, three of which are core classes), will be loaned a District Chromebook for use during the year. In addition, the families of students that meet all registration and October Count deadlines will receive a $30 Internet voucher to assist with the cost of high-speed internet access beginning at the end of October. Families will need to pick up the cost of the some consumable materials such as paper, printer ink, etc.

Other requirements are bulleted below:

• WPSD Online students must participate in all District and Colorado State Assessments, including CMAS (grades 3-8), PSAT (grades 10 & 11), and SAT (grade 11). The Colorado READ Act includes DIBELS and MAP/NWEA Reading, Math and Early Literacy benchmark assessments. These assessments monitor students’ progress throughout the year in Grades K-5.

• Attendance must be kept, but parents have flexibility in scheduling time. Student progress is monitored throughout the year.
• Frequent communication between parent, student, and online teacher is encouraged to help set goals and discuss progress.
• Additional services may be provided to students needing literacy support, special education services, etc.
