The following expectations apply during yellow and red modes of instruction:

• YELLOW/RED:

  • MS/HS teachers will take attendance at the end of each class period.

  • Elementary (RED): Teachers will take attendance after daily check-in with students.

• Parents/Guardians of students who are unable to log in to Google Classroom on any school day must notify the school with the reason for the student's absence within 24 hours of the absence.

Teachers will inform students of when classroom work is due.

The following expectations for late student work apply during yellow and red modes of instruction:

1. Excused Absence --- It is the responsibility of the student to check with the teacher(s) for make-up assignments. The allotted time for make-up is the number of day(s) absence plus one. Teachers may extend the time if unusual circumstances exist. Alternative assignments may be given to a student for class activities missed which cannot be made up. When a student is aware of the date an assignment is due, and this due date is during the absent period or on the day that the student returns to school, the assignment is due on the first day that the student returns to school.

2. Unexcused Absence --- Students are entitled to make up any work missed.However, the student will receive a grade of "0" for any work missed because of an unexcused absence.

3. Please be in communication with your child's teacher if you have any questions about assignment due dates
