Ethos Back-to-School Night

Ethos provides an asynchronous, synchronous model. Students complete daily work asynchronously where they have access to assignments on the platform and are not required to log in at a specific time each day. To ensure engagement and connectivity with their teacher and classmates, students are expected to attend synchronous sessions each week via zoom. The sync session day and time are determined at the beginning of the semester by the teacher and students based on the availability of the majority.

Engagement is a core pillar of Ethos and we have historically used our sync sessions to establish and maintain student engagement. We also understand that course rosters can include a variety of timezones as well as co curricular and family activities. If a student is unable to attend a scheduled session, the student should communicate the conflict with their teacher. The teacher can provide an alternate assignment that is comparable to the discussions and activities for the missed sync session.

Some courses will require textbooks and/or lab materials, in addition to the digital resources on the course page. Textbook details are provided by the teacher as well as in the syllabus for each course, but you can find the Ethos textbooks/materials list here. For any inquiries regarding textbook access or textbook related issues, please contact Dr. Brad Denton at bdenton@ethosschool.org.

Parents have an individual login, giving you access to monitor your student’s progress and grades. The parent portal (also called Genius) link is https://sis.ethosschool.org. You can click the forgot password link at any time to retrieve your password (NOTE: please do not setup a new account). When you click the forgot password link, you will receive an email with your username. Once logged in, you can review the current course grade, the amount of time your student has spent in each course, and the contact information for your child’s teachers.
