What Additional Features Will There Be?

What Do These Updates Mean For My Student?
- Student progress will not be interrupted with the updates

- Note: If your student is switching mid-course, we will have Transition Guides available that will suggest where to start in the new course based on chapters completed in the older courses.
- Students will have until November 30, 2020 to complete the courses that they are currently enrolled in
- No curriculum changes will be made to the remaining PreK-8 grade courses at this time. Rest assured though, all of Time4Learning will be Adobe Flash free by the end of 2020.
We are excited about these updates, as many of these have been requested from members, just like you! Once the new courses are available, we will share the news here, so stay tuned!
