Penn Hills Cyber Academy students will begin classes on Monday, August 29th and will follow the district's official school calendar. Penn Hills Cyber Academy students will NOT be expected to participate in online studies on designated 'off' days. If a student chooses to attend to their studies on their “off” days, that is an opportunity to stay on pace, catch up on work or get ahead. Please refer to Penn Hills School District website for calendar updates as well. Academy students must login daily and maintain full participation on all designated school days. If they do not, they will be marked absent by the Cyber Academy Coordinator. Academy online studies will be extended in accordance with any/all days added to the Penn Hills School District official school calendar as the result of cancellations.

One distinct advantage of the online program is the ability for students and families to access real-time progress reports. These reports contain information regarding pacing, progress, and the student’s current grade in each of his/her courses. They are an important tool to assist you in supporting the academic needs of your child and in the student successfully completing each course. For the purposes of athletic eligibility and participation in extracurricular activities, the PHSD report cards are accessible through SKYWARD at the end of each nine-week marking period. Because online learning allows for flexibility in terms of pacing, the district will use the student’s actual grade (located on the progress report) when reporting current marking period grades. This grade is reflective of the amount of work the student should have completed at the time the grade is reported. However, the grades reported are not used to calculate the student’s final grade in the course. When reporting final grades, the relative grade (located on the progress report) will be used. The relative grade is reflective of the student’s overall performance in the online course. PHSD transcripts will reflect the final course grade earned. Skyward grades are the official grades as they reflect the weekly communication grade, Edgenuity grade, and supplemental activities.
