I hope you enjoyed meeting with mentors this past week during Parent-Mentor Conferences, and that you feel engaged as part of the LAU team to support your student’s education. Our mentors are dedicated to helping your student succeed. We understand how important it is for students to have support as they learn to manage their time, tasks, and energy with an online curriculum. 

The Williamsburg Curriculum has a higher percentage of students who successfully finish their courses than any other online curriculum we’re aware of. We think this is primarily due to the kinds of students and families we attract, but it is also because we work hard to keep students and parents informed about student progress. 

You can find information about your student’s progress through the weekly reports sent out via Canvas. If your student has a course in the “Red Zone,” it indicates they may need more support from parents, mentors, or our Student Success Team (studentsupport@williamsburglearning.com).

Please reach out to us when you need greater support, and together we will find a way to differentiate instruction or implement a plan to help your child succeed. We look forward to hearing from you!

Warmest regards,

John Tripp 

Executive Director, LAU
