ASSIGNMENTS

• During class - activities, assignments, and directions will be shared via Google Meet and / or posted on Google Classroom.

• Attendance will be taken for each class.

• Most assignments will be submitted through Google Classroom. This may include: responding to a posted question, completing and turning in a provided assignment, or uploading a photograph of your work.

• During virtual instruction, feedback will be provided verbally and in writing; sometimes it will be directed to an entire class, and sometimes it will be individualized. Students can expect that work submitted will also be returned via Google Classroom. The returned work may include corrections, suggestions, questions, and compliments. If there is an opportunity to re-submit work, that will be directly stated. Otherwise, returned work is yours to review.

• Due dates will be posted on both Google Classroom and Skyward. In order to be successful, it is your responsibility to ensure that all of your assignments are complete, on time, and a reflection of your best effort. Work turned in incomplete or late will receive a reduced score. In extenuating circumstances, please communicate your need for flexibility.
