9/26/2016: Credit Recovery Progress Report Available

Available again this fall, MTDA has a weekly progress report available to sites that utilize our credit recovery program.  The report is not automatically generated and first-time credit recovery support staff need to schedule an appointment with MTDA staff to discuss how to read and interpret the data.

If you are interested in receiving the weekly report, please contact the MTDA staff via the help desk, support@montanadigitalacademy.org.

9/26/2016: High School Original Credit Announcement

Tuesday, September 27, 2016, represents the final drop deadline for the Fall 2016 semester.  Local facilitators are responsible for putting drop requests into the MTDA student information system.  Directions on how to do so appear in our facilitator handbook.  A convenient short link to the click-by-click is available here:http://mtda.link/droprequest.

Dropping students that are inactive, no longer in your school, or transferred to a face-to-face program is extremely important to conserve limited MTDA resources as all students that stay in the program past the add/drop period incur program costs.  We rely on you for your assistance here.  Thank you!

After the drop deadline, students that drop the program should receive an appropriate designation on their local transcript.

9/26/2016: Attention High School Original Credit Students

Attention all high school original credit students:
Happy Monday from the Montana Digital Academy offices at the University of Montana in Missoula!
Week 4 of our fall semester begins today!  We are now sending out weekly grade reports to you, your parents and your local school, and all classes are in full swing.  We hope you are feeling engaged and confident in this environment!
If all is going well?  Great!  Carry on, scholar!  Let us know if we can assist you in the coming weeks and months as the semester runs it course.
 
If things are not going well, this is the week to fix it!  Please contact your teacher or the help desk, (support@montanadigitalacademy.org) right away so we can resolve any issue.
If you decide the course is not for you and would like to drop, that’s okay, but, you must visit your high school counselor right away with that information.  Tuesday, September 26, 2016, is the deadline to drop courses.  After that day, drop requests may result in a notation/grade on your transcript.
In any case, we want to assist you with being an awesome online learner.  Let us know how we can help.
