Students from across the nation are participating! Take a look at the complete list of clubs and descriptions and register for the clubs you’d like to join. You must register in order to participate in K¹² Clubs for the 2012–2013 school year. Sign up for a club at clubs@k12.com. We hope you find something that interests you, and we look forward to seeing you online this year!

Preschool Story Time!

Parent, if your preschoolers want a taste of something online that’s just for them, we welcome you and them to attend K¹²’s special Preschool Story time! While your little one is “doing school” like the “big kids” you now have at least 20 minutes to work with a different child or just have a quiet cup of tea. Your student will also receive fun, educational and creative activities to complete after our session. Look for the announcement on your OLS or find the dates and times at: http://cava.k12start.com/for-parents/

Mentor Circles

Whether you've used K¹² for several years or only a few weeks, Mentor Circles are right for you! In Mentor Circles you'll find others who know what you're experiencing, whether you’re talking about the "OLS," "GUM," and "Online Assessments," or discussing strategies for getting your kids motivated and your laundry done while also squeezing in time for yourself. Remembering to connect with others is vital to a successful year. Mentor Circles connect you with new and veteran Learning Coaches just like you! Visit the OLS announcement for the list of dates, times and links.
