As a student with MySchool@Kent, you'll need to adhere to some of the following rules and expectations: 

 

  • Check your kentisd.net email everyday for information and communication from staff
  • Plan to login to APEX everyday to work on your courses! Allow for about 1 hour for each course (ex: 6 courses, 6 hours / day)
  • Students will not use outside resources, or Google when testing or working on courses
 
 
 

 

Students will see their courses completed with MySchool@Kent on their transcript at the end of the semester/grading period. 

Our grading scale** is as follows:

A 93.5 - 100
