14 or 28 weeks of interactive online content. See our Electives page.

Virtual Electives with Optional Learning Experiences
14 or 28 weeks of in-person, approximately once a week, class with an instructor at our Kaleidoscope: L’Anse location or at a location in the community, and correlating interactive online content for each of those weeks.
Our Virtual Electives are meant to provide a framework for activities that you might expand on at home. They include resource ideas and regular instructor/student communication through the virtual learning management platform Seesaw. They DO NOT include in-person or virtual face-to-face instruction. Students log into Seesaw each week and complete an activity, usually using a virtual resource. Instructors communicate with students about their completed activities. Our Virtual Electives can be found here.
Once the school year begins you will have access to the following:
Syllabus
This includes a class description, objectives, a general learning plan, and an assessment plan.
Virtual Elective PDF Workbook
This includes a printable version of lessons and assignments for the semester. This is an optional resource for families who prefer to limit their screen time. There will still be some content that will need to be accessed online.
Class Overview
This includes information on how you might want to use the virtual content at home, and how to utilize our virtual platform, Seesaw.
Seesaw Account
Kaleidoscope will provide each student with a Seesaw account, which will give them access to the virtual content for their class.
Technical Support
Kaleidoscope staff is available via phone or email to help you through any technical issues that come up.
Resource Support
Kaleidoscope staff is available via phone or email to help you build resources to use at home and expand on the virtual content to create more in-depth at-home studies.
