Required 

Create Your Student’s SIS Login—Then Add Their Profile Photo

Your child needs an SIS username and password to access their online courses in Canvas, including orientation. If they don't have a login yet, click "View Login Instructions" below.

Once their login is set up, you’ll need to upload their profile photo in SIS. Just go to "My Students" in your parent account and add a headshot-style photo for their school ID.

Required

Complete Orientation & Benchmark Assessments

All students must complete orientation before the first day of school, which includes a series of short, pre-start assignments and benchmark assessments.

Orientation and benchmarks will be available in Canvas starting August 1. Please have your student log into Canvas, locate the WAC Hub course, and follow the instructions posted there.

Is your student enrolling late? If your student joins WAC after the start of the semester, please have them complete orientation and benchmarks right away. If you need any help, reach out to our Customer Support Team.

Orientation for Parents: We recommend watching our on-demand orientation videoscreated just for you! These videos include tips and key information to help your family have a smooth start to the school year. You can access these videos on our website anytime.

Confirm Books & Materials

We will order your student's books and materials (for approved classes) and ship them to the address listed on their SIS profile. Please ensure your student's address is correct in SIS. We will let you know when your student's books and materials are on their way so that you can keep an eye out for them.

Request a School Computer

If your student doesn’t have access to a computer for school, you can request one from us (loaned free of charge) if you didn't already request one in the enrollment application. Check out our computer info page for more details.
