What is Study Hall?
Study Hall is used to accurately monitor student work time. When the student logs into school, their active online time is automatically counted towards attendance. If the student is working, but not actively on the computer, Study Hall must be kept open so their work time continues to be logged. Some examples of this would be if they are reading a book or watching a movie. To open Study Hall, students should double click on the Study Hall button. A new window will open and it will say, “You are currently logged into your Study hall.” Students can then minimize the Study Hall window when it opens. Make sure this stays open the entire time your student is doing their offline school work. As long as this window remains open, their time spent on schoolwork will be properly counted and stored as part of your school record.
The function of study hall is to make sure students get time credit for doing work while they are away from the computer, reading a book, or on a website other than Learning By Grace’s site. Whenever the student is completing work off-line, a study hall window should be opened to keep track of the student’s time. Depending on the Academy in which you are enrolled, there may be mandatory attendance requirements. Ask Student Services about the regulations that apply to you..

Teachers or other officials may monitor both kinds of study hall. In the sense of a space to study, a study hall is usually kept quiet so that students can focus. Students who need to work on audiovisual material use headphones, and may also screen their workspaces so that they are not distracting. A study hall may also have an assortment of books, computers, and other reference materials for students to use. In many cases, a study hall has comfortable seating combined with desks or tables so that students can read in comfort, or spread work out on a table and sit upright.
