As a school, we recognize that online schooling cannot replace an on-campus experience, but we also value the safety of our students and the hard decisions families must make.
We surveyed Athlos parents and teachers for their thoughts on our distance learning program, what they liked about it, and how we can improve.
We greatly appreciate your feedback, patience, and grace as we work together to navigate this new learning landscape! Here are some great comments we’ve received from families and wanted to share:
“I have three students in different grades, and they all love navigating through their day with their schedule. I always hear, ‘What’s next?’ I love to hear that! They are attentive and excited. I have children in k-5, and 5-8.”
– Athlos Parent
“Teachers are showing enthusiasm, compassion, and understanding as they attempt to keep students engaged and focused.”
– Athlos Parent
“We just started (kinder) we are getting the hang of it. My daughter is still adjusting to school on the computer, but her teachers are awesome and very helpful.”
– Athlos Parent
“The compassion, patience, and effort that each Athlos member displays that assures us that we are all in this together and will not be stuck out, left out, or left behind. 🙂 Thanks for that! Keep up the great work Athlos!”
– Athlos Parent
“Thanks to you all for the effort you are making to make it possible for the kids receive their education via online and keeping them safe at the same.”

“It’s just like I’m in the classroom with him, I love the way the Zoom rooms are on the teacher’s page it makes it so much easier.”
– Athlos Parent
“I can be attentive and sure that my son is receiving his tutorials since I can observe while he does it, and above all I am pleased to know that he is safe at home and is not at risk of the pandemic.”
– Athlos Parent
“I feel confident in the teachers that my kids have. It has also kept me a little more involved helping them with school than I did last year.”
– Athlos Parent
“All the teachers I have interacted with show extreme amounts of patience and understanding. They have been very helpful.”
– Athlos Parent
“My child still feels like she is in the classrooms. Just to hear her engaging in class lets me know she is very comfortable. She lets me know what she learned through her sessions. Her words ‘Mom it feels like we in college taking online classes.’ She is learning and that’s what is important to her.”
– Athlos Parent
“I notice my daughter and her classmates in the live math class. They were enjoying answering questions, asking questions, and in interacting with their teacher.”
– Athlos Parent
“My child’s mood has improved greatly since being back in school. She likes her teachers and getting to see her classmates on zoom. The schedule works great and it keeps her busy all day. She is able to do her entire school day on her own by using the links on Clever. The teachers are doing a great job on the videos, my daughter says, ‘they are really into it.’ She means they are really into teaching and this makes her excited to learn. I love that she is exercising in Athletic Movement class too. Thank you for getting this up and running for us. Great Job!”
