ONLINE COURSES

Through partnership with the Wisconsin eLearning Network, Waunakee
High School is able to offer students options for online courses if they meet
specific criteria. Online courses in nearly every curricular area are available
at no cost to the student learner. Students are required to meet with their
high school counselor, Pathways Coordinator, or School to Career
Coordinator to determine eligibility for this option.

Students must demonstrate general and technical readiness, meet technological requirements, meet all course
prerequisites, demonstrate the ability to work independently, and meet one of the following contexts:

1. Course is not offered at Waunakee High School
2. Scheduling conflict due to singleton sections in the student’s individualized learning plan
3. Necessary for a student’s four-year plan
4. Travel abroad or for national athletic teams
5. Health related concerns
6. Former home school student
7. Mid-year transfer from another school
8. Supports student placement in a Youth Apprenticeship Program

If a student placement in an online course is approved, learning contracts are required for the student and parent.
Students who are enrolled in an online course will be required to include the Student Resource Lab in their schedule in
order to ensure time is available for the student to successfully meet all online course requirements and remain on pace
with online assignments and exams. All approved online coursework is coordinated and graded by a contracted online
instructor outside of the Waunakee School District. Online course grades are entered into the Infinite Campus portal
every grading period, similar to all other traditional courses, and will appear on a student’s transcript.

For questions regarding online courses at Waunakee High School, parents and/or students should contact their student’s
school counselor, Pathways Coordinator, or the School to Career Coordinator.
