Digital Learning and Enrollment  Frequently Asked Questions for Families How do I get my child started on their digital learning assignments?

All resources for students and families, including frequently asked questions and how-to tutorials are available on our dedicated webpage for Digital Learning for Students and Families.

Does my child have to be online all day long? What does my child’s schedule look like?

Students and families can set the schedule that works for them to complete their lessons and assignments. There will be online lessons and assignments daily from each teacher, including a daily attendance activity. Teachers will also set student appointments or host live lessons and chats that would give specific times on specific days, but this would not be a daily set schedule for students. Check with your student’s teacher(s) for more information.

How do I get my child’s R2.D2 number?

Ask your student! They use this number to access computers and programs within their classrooms. If your student does not know their R2.D2 number, call our Digital Learning Helpline at 727-588-6060 or your school so they can retrieve that information for you. They will ask you a couple of questions to verify your identity when you call.
