Students work at their own pace on Tempe Union Online courses. However, full time students will be enrolled in 3 semester courses every 9 weeks. The expectation is that students will work about 2 hours per day per course in order to complete their course in 9 weeks. In addition, teachers will be available to provide support in-person daily in online labs at all schools in the district, and they will have daily office hours where students can get help virtually.

Students are able to switch between the in-person and online models at the semester mark after one ends and before the next one begins. Currently, the deadline to enroll in Tempe Union Online has been extended to Thursday, July 16.

Tempe Union Online courses are accessed through the District’s Learning Management System (Schoology) and the courses are on the Edgenuity platform. However, the courses are Tempe Union courses as they have been reviewed and edited by Tempe Union teachers to ensure they align to state standards and district curriculum scope and sequence.

Not at this time.

There will also be a Virtual Freshman Orientation (dates and additional information to follow). Online students will also be invited to participate in the freshmen orientation or non-freshman resource pickup activities at their home school sites.  

In addition, ALL online students will also complete a virtual orientation within Schoology on 8/3/20, the first day of class. Traditionally the district has used the third Monday in August for a parent open house. A version of this will be conducted in a virtual format. Once school begins, sites will send out more specific information.

Tempe Union Online works with District and site staff as well as collaborative partnerships with local agencies to support the social and emotional needs of the students. In addition, counselors, Care 7 staff, academic interventionists, dean of students and dropout prevention staff will coordinate to provide social emotional support and deliver a social-emotional learning curriculum. Counselors will work with site intervention teams to determine what services will be provided in-person or remotely. See our Social and Emotional Wellness program for more information.
