Dear Parents,
The information below explains how to access your child’s work in his/her online courses. Everything your child is doing is available for you to peruse.
The online courses can be accessed from nbvhs.nbed.nb.ca. It is important to ensure that your son or daughter give you the assigned username and password. From the main page, you can see all of the courses your child is currently enrolled in on the right hand side of the page. Click on the title of the course you are interested in. Clicking on “My Home” in the upper left hand corner at any time will bring you back to this main page.
The homepage for each individual course contains up-to-date “News” for that course. Here teachers post due dates for assignments, test date reminders, additional links and course information, etcetera; From the navigation bar near the top of the page you will see “Content”. Clicking this tab provides links to all of your child’s assignments. These pages also contain the course information divided into units or modules. Like pages in a textbook, reviewing these pages will allow you to view what your child is learning, as well as assist with homework and test preparation.
From the same navigation bar you can also click on “Dropbox”. Here you can view the assignments your son/daughter submitted, the grade received, and view feedback from the teacher. The ‘Grades” ta in the navigation bar also has an overview of all your child’s grades in that particular course.
