An Introduction to Visions Information Systems

Students and parents can access Launchpad, our student information system, anytime, 24-hours a day. A few helpful tools here will allow you to: place orders, keep track of funds, and register for classes and events. We have found that Google Chrome performs better with Launchpad than other browsers. It is free and can be downloaded here. Here is a link to a handy Quick Start Guide that will tell you everything you want to know about Launchpad.

This is the place to check for a collection of curriculum resources. Here you’ll find more information on supported curriculum, pacing guides, project ideas, videos and online resources. Sign in to Launchpad first, then log in to the Hub (Username: homeschool, Password: Home2014!)

TextbookX is the official vendor you’ll use to order adopted curriculum, purchase most teacher editions and shop the marketplace for great savings, up to 60%. To complete your order, use the Flexpay username and password for payment. If an item is offered on TextbookX, you will need to order it there instead of another vendor.

The Visions eHandbook is the internal site for students, families, teachers, and staff. Here you will find policies, procedures, and forms. This site contains resources, including step-by-step instructions and videos to help users comfortably navigate our student information system (Launchpad), as well as the rest of Visions eHandbook. Think of it as place to do a “Google Search” for Visions policies and forms.

The Wire is the school’s communication system, connecting Visions to you. Weekly Newsletters are sent from The Wire to families on Tuesdays, at 10:00am.
