Progress

Submitting worksheets or quizzes on time is an important aspect of a Flex course. This enables our partner schools to review student work throughout the school year and to see measurable progress that correlates to state standards at grade level.

Please review the submission schedule for your school, which is included in the Flex packet that will be sent to you.

  • Core Courses – Grades K-8: 1 worksheet per course every 2 weeks
  • Kindergarten submission dates vary by course. 16 submissions are due for Language Arts and Math, and 8 submissions are due for Science and Social Studies.

Using their selected curriculum, students study and learn Flex course topics and skills. The recorded presentations provide instruction on the worksheet topics. The recordings may be viewed on the student’s own schedule and may also be reviewed throughout the week.  Throughout the semester, students show their understanding of state standards for the course by completing worksheets or quizzes.

 

Flex Submissions

Flex submissions will occur through Canvas. You will receive an email containing the username and password for your child’s Canvas account. Please do not upload your submissions into School Pathways. Instructions for how to submit via Canvas are found below.
How to Submit a Flex Worksheet
Step 1: Sign in to Canvas at harmonyed.instructure.com using the credentials provided to your child by Harmony.
Step 2: Select the desired class by clicking on its title on the Dashboard.
Step 3: Click on the quiz number that you wish to submit into.
Step 4: Click Begin Quiz

After beginning the quiz, you will have two options for how to meet the requirement. First, you may submit a hard copy of the worksheet in pdf or jpg format by using the File Upload on Question #1 of the quiz. You may also elect to skip this question and advance to the online quiz. Harmony will accept either option for full credit.

To submit a worksheet file:
Step 5: On question 1, click Choose a File.
Step 6: From your computer or device, select the file(s) you wish to upload and then click Open.
Step 7: Click Submit Quiz. A prompt will appear letting you know that you have unanswered questions. Disregard this by clicking OK.
Step 8: Your page should be refreshed to show you a breakdown of the quiz results. Please disregard the score given at this point, as your individual score will be assigned by the Harmony grading team after review of the submission.

To complete the online quiz:
Step 5: Disregard question 1 by clicking Next. Do not upload any files.
Step 6: Follow the instructions to complete the quiz. Click Next to cycle from question to question.
Step 7: When you have worked through all remaining questions, click the Submit Quiz button.
Step 8: After clicking Submit, you will receive a prompt that there are unanswered questions remaining. This is due to question 1. Disregard the prompt by clicking ok. This will submit the quiz.
Step 9: After submitting you will be shown a breakdown of your score on the quiz. Please note that there may be questions that require grading from the Harmony grading team. Scores will be updated upon review of your submission.

Notes for successful submission:

  • Legible: Please ensure that the file you are sending is legible
  • File Types: The file types that will be most successful are .pdf or .jpeg files
  • One at a Time: Please submit only one worksheet per module
Completing Worksheets on the Computer
Some students may want to complete the worksheets without having to print them. A  suggested resource is Foxit Reader, a free PDF reader that allows users to put  comments on the page.

  •  This comment feature enables students to complete worksheets on the  computer, eliminating the need to print them out and then scan them back in.
  • While this may work best with secondary students who can complete and  submit the files themselves, it may also be helpful for elementary students.

Receiving Flex Worksheets

  • You will automatically be emailed the Flex worksheets and parent handbook when you choose Flex Direct courses. Additionally, except as noted below, a Flex packet will be mailed to you. The Flex packet includes the parent handbook, Flex worksheets, submission schedule and answer keys.  The Flex worksheets will be available for download in the Flex Direct course in Canvas (online learning platform).
  • Note for IHLA and Laupahoehoe students: If you would like to have the Flex worksheets mailed to you, you will need to choose the Flex worksheets as a resource in the resource ordering system for a small cost. Harmony will then print all of the worksheets and send them directly to you.
