# 1.1A What To Expect (Texas)

Welcome to OpenEd, a one-of-a-kind personalized learning program that empowers you to design the perfect education for your student!

Many new parents ask: *What does enrolling with OpenEd mean? What's expected from my family?*

**Looking for details on how to enroll?** Take a look at our [enrollment process overview](https://knowledge.opened.co/1.1b-enrollment-process-texas?hsLang=en).

### **What Your Enrollment Gets You**

#### **1. Premium educational resources.**

You can use your program funds in a few different ways:

- Get **reimbursed** for approved educational expenses
- Place direct orders for approved materials through **Amazon** and **Rainbow Resource** *with no out-of-pocket expenses*
- Browse a wide range of curriculum options through the [OpenEd marketplace](https://opened.co/marketplace)

#### **2.** **Support and tutoring.**

OpenEd is proud to offer several live support options throughout the year designed to meet different student needs. 

Some supports are available to all students, while others are designed for students with specific academic goals or identified needs.

Learn about all of our tutoring options **[here](https://knowledge.opened.co/5.2-student-support-and-tutoring-texas?hsLang=en)**.

#### **3. Live community events and clubs.**

Every month, we lead fun, engaging events and clubs centered around what students are excited about.

We'll send you a newsletter on the 20th of every month reviewing next month's offerings. 

Learn more about our OpenEd clubs and events **[here](https://knowledge.opened.co/5.1-virtual-clubs-and-events-texas?hsLang=en)**.

### **What We'll Ask From You**

To stay enrolled, your student needs to: 

#### **1. Submit a weekly learning log.**

To demonstrate their active participation in the program, your student will use our  
platform to submit a short summary of what they learned throughout the week.

We strongly encourage students to submit their own learning logs, but parents can  
also submit logs for their students if necessary.

Learn more about learning logs **[here](https://knowledge.opened.co/2.2-learning-logs-overview-texas?hsLang=en)**.

#### **2. Submit daily attendance.**

Each school day, you’ll record whether your student participated in learning, either by replying “Yes” or “No” to a daily text message or through the **Attendance** page of your platform.

Learn more about daily attendance **[here](https://knowledge.opened.co/2.3-how-to-submit-your-student-s-attendance-texas?hsLang=en)**.

#### **3. Participate in state-mandated assessments.**

You can view the assessments that Texas students are expected to take by grade for the 26-27 school year **[here](https://knowledge.opened.co/6.1-assessments-overview-texas?hsLang=en).** 

#### **4. Fulfill requirements specific to your state.**

We’ll make sure you’re well-informed ahead of time about what these are.
