Restarting a Student

We received the following question today about restarting. If you want to restart one of your students please read the question and answer below.

----- User Question -----

Hello Support,

My kids are still enjoying HSA.
I do have a request though.

I have a six year old signed up
who has some learning difficulties
and she dropped out of doing HSA for this year.

Is there a way to clear her account so we can start over?

Thank you!

----- Support Answer -----

Dear User,

We have a new feature that lets you do exactly
what you want to do. Bill added this feature
just a few weeks ago.

When you unassign a course, it is removed from the student's worksheets

To achieve your desired goal of restarting a student.

1. Log-in as a parent
2. Edit the student's assignments.
3. Unassign all courses.
4. Press save.
5. Edit the student's assignements.
6. Add the desired courses back.
7. Press save.

This will clear out the student and let them start over!

Vocabulary Building - Roots of English Words

We have created a new course category called 'Roots of English Words.'

Many words in English are made up of parts which come from other languages. These parts, called morphemes, still carry some of the meaning of the original words from which they come. Learning to recognize and remember morphemes helps us understand and remember the words in which they appear.

This curriculum may we used beginning in elementary school age. All students, especially those preparing for standardized tests with a vocabulary component, will benefit from the Roots of English Words curriculum.

Assign these courses if your students will be taking the SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, etc.
