How do I know what to do each day?
Creating a Daily Routine
|
Login to OMHS and click on your course that you’d like to start with. The first thing you should do is check Class Announcements right in the center of your course page for any important updates or course information.
Then hit the Class Plan, circled both in red below, you can get to the Class Plan either way. |
|
|
Once you are in the Class Plan, all of your coursework for the day will show up in different colored tabs (second red circle below) each of your courses being a different color. The first red circle highlights all of your different views for the Class Plan, the default is Day, but you may view it whatever way is most comfortable for you.
|
|
|
Put your cursor over one of your course topics (in the example below 1.10 Subtraction in Orange) and click on it. The white box as shown below will pop up. Select More..., circled in red below.
|
|
|
Clicking “More...” will bring you to this page. The top bar(right pointing red arrow) will tell you what % complete you are for the day’s tasks. Below it there will be a list (two left pointing red arrows) for the tasks you must complete that day for the given course. Those tasks are links that will take you directly to that content. Circled in red, you will see two gray dots. Once your tasks are complete, these dots turn to check marks. Once all of your tasks are complete for the day, in the selected course, it will read 100% complete at the top and you will have check marks next to the assigned work. Then move on to your next course.

Due Dates vs. End Dates
Assignment dates explained
Our assignments have three dates:
FAQ: What happens if I don't submit the assignment by the Due Date?
A: The teacher will most likely enter a 0 for the assignment in your gradebook indicating that the assignment has not been completed. However, you are still able to submit the assignment until it's end date for full credit and your grade will be adjusted upon submission and review.
FAQ: What happens if I don't submit the assignment by the End Date?
A: The teacher will enter a 0 for the assignment in your gradebook and and you cannot submit it for credit after that point
- Start Date - The date the assignment becomes available for the student to begin working
- Due Date - The date the assignment is expected to be done to keep on schedule with the progression of the course. Assignments CAN be turned in after this date for full credit, but continually missing due dates indicates that you are falling behind in the class
- End Date - The date the assignment is NO LONGER available for the student to complete

Screenshot Tools
Quickly capture and share what's on your screen
Windows Snipping Tool
The snipping tool is a great way to make a shareable image of something on your screen and is one of the most useful tools in your virtual bag of tricks as you navigate online school and work beyond!
1. Select the Start Button (bottom left corner of your screen)
2. Type "snipping tool" in the search bar
3. Right click on the icon and select "Pin to taskbar" to keep it readily accessible for you as you will likely be using it all the time!
4. To take a new screenshot using the same mode you used last, select New. Or, to choose the type of snip you want, select Mode (or, in older versions of Windows, the arrow next to New), and then choose a capture mode. When making free-form or rectangular snips, use your mouse to select the area that you want to capture.
5. Use the Save and Copy buttons at the top of the snip to save or copy it to the clipboard where it can be pasted into whatever you are working on
6. If you are saving the image be sure to rename it something descriptive or useful to avoid having a folder full of images with very similar names that will be difficult to sort through later
