6.2 Tracking Hours: Overview (Kansas 25-26)

Kansas Count Day is one of the few times during the year when we need to carefully track your student’s learning time. To make this simple, we’ve set up a clock-in/clock-out system right inside your OpenEd account. Think of it like logging work hours — your student “clocks in” when they start learning and “clocks out” when they take breaks or finish.

Here’s what to know up front:

  • 6 hours per day required: Each student must log at least 6 hours of learning time on each of the three designated Count Days.

  • Easy access: You can use a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop — anywhere you can log in at opened.co.

  • Stay active: Students can open other tabs, use outside resources, or join live sessions (see Article 6.3 for ideas), but the tracking page must stay open. If it’s closed, the timer stops.

  • Check back in: Students should clock in and out throughout the day to show active engagement — not just log on once and leave it running.

  • Multiple students? No problem. Your students can log hours at the same time on the count day dashboard.

This process helps us meet state requirements and keeps OpenEd available as a flexible option for Kansas families.
