Update Your Student’s Grade Level for 2023-2024

As we prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, it’s time to update your student’s grade level. This simple process ensures their curriculum aligns with their learning needs for the new year. Follow the steps below to make the update:

1. Log in to your student’s account and navigate to the Help menu.
2. Inside the Help menu, you will find a link called “Change Grade Level”.
3. Click on the link and select their grade level for next year.

Choosing the right grade level can sometimes be a challenge, especially for families new to homeschooling. To help with this process, we recommend using the Assessment Tests available in the student account. These tests are specifically designed to assess your student’s current understanding of the curriculum and provide valuable insights to guide your decision.

If you have a Parent/Teacher Account, you can easily view your student’s test results, making it even simpler to determine the best grade level for their success.

Take this opportunity to set your student up for a productive and rewarding school year ahead!
