Distributed learning schools also have expectations of you.  They expect you will complete your course, and many of them may ask you to commit to this in writing.  They also expect you to participate fully in tests and assignments.  They will expect you to write exams and the Foundation Skills Assessment.  As part of the enrollment process, school districts should identify what they expect of you.  Before you enrol, make sure you know what’s expected so you’re not surprised later.
