MNVA Families,
We would like to inform our MNVA families about two ongoing technology issues currently affecting access.
Class Connect (CC) Recording Access
Class Connect recordings from prior days are currently unavailable to students. Stride is aware of this issue and is actively working on a resolution, which we hope to have in place within the next few days.
Need immediate access? If your student needs to view a previous recording before the fix is complete, please contact their teacher directly. Teachers can download and share recording files upon request.
New Student & Learning Coach Account Creation
Stride is also experiencing technical difficulties generating new accounts for students and Learning Coaches. They are actively working to resolve this as quickly as possible.
Missed Work Protection: If your student is enrolled but unable to access classes due to missing account credentials, please do not worry about overdue coursework. Teachers will exempt any work missed during these past two weeks and will work closely with students to help them catch up on course content once access is restored.
Important Notice: 15-Day Consecutive Absence Requirement
Under state statutory requirements, schools must drop students from enrollment following 15 consecutive days of absence—regardless of whether those absences are marked excused or unexcused.
If your child is un-enrolled as a result of the ongoing account creation issue, state law still requires us to process the drop. However, we will be happy to re-enroll your student as soon as you are ready. Following state regulations is mandatory, but please rest assured that this step does not reflect our dedication to having your student enrolled with us.
We're Here to Help
We sincerely apologize for the disruption and inconvenience these technology issues have caused your family. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and grace as we work through these challenges.
