Unlike distance learning in the spring, attendance is now required every day, as outlined by the Oregon Department of Education. Students will be required to complete an attendance form for each class period, for each day. The attendance forms can be found on Google Classroom for the teacher.

If your student misses a class, an auto-dial call will be made at the end of each day.

We understand that this is a new and challenging situation for everyone, and we also acknowledge that everyone's home situation is very different. Please communicate with us regularly; we want to support you as much as we can.

1. Be positive.

Thriving through a change is tough but doable with a positive attitude. A positive attitude about online learning is the best gift you can give yourself and your student.

2. Get organized—and stay organized.

Support your student by creating a small space for them to do their school work. This could be an office space, a corner of your home, or a dedicated spot at the kitchen table! Gather any needed books, technology, pencils, pens, paper or other supplies. If your student is needing school supplies, please reach out. Shasta has some we can offer. Use a planner or dedicated notebook to write down and track assignments.

3. Establish a flexible routine.

Distance learning may allow for more flexibility in your day but having a routine will help to keep you on track with your school work. Find out the best way(s) to contact your teachers and make time in your day for frequent check is. Schedule breaks and down time! Self care is especially important right now.

4. Set personal goals.

To make great things happen in your life, it helps to set goals for yourself. Think about what you’d like to accomplish, both short and long term. Is there a class you want to ace this semester? A new friend you want to make from afar? A hobby you've been wanting to start? Be sure to put your goals in writing and post the list where you’ll see it often.

5. Make the most of your resources.

As an online student there are many helpful resources available. Your textbooks, online instructional tools, as well as trusted websites are all good places to go when you're feeling stuck. But don’t forget the many wonderful human resources you can use too! Parents and family, teachers, school counselors, and principals are great sources of information. A good rule of thumb is if you’ve been looking for an answer for more than five minutes, reach out for help! We are here to help you.

6. Start on track and stay on track.

It’s always better to be ahead than to be struggling at the last minute! Break down big projects into small, manageable parts—and give each one a deadline. Write these deadlines down and stick to them. If you get things done on time you’ll be better off in the long run.

7. Exercise with friends online.

We are all spending a lot of time online—completing lessons, chatting with peers, and touching base with teachers. So don't forget to schedule physical fitness into the day! Physical exercise can boost mood, energy, and brainpower. If you can, get out side to move your body. As the weather turns, there are also many online exercise videos available that can be fun for the whole family.

8. Learn to deal with setbacks.

Everyone has them! Every person who succeeds has had to struggle to get there. When you get a bad grade, have an argument with a friend, or experience frustrations with technology, realize that this is a learning experience. Talk to someone to get another point of view—you could be worried about something that’s pretty small in the long run. To move forward, you must take responsibility for what you’ve done (or not done) and decide to change your behavior in the future. Making a plan for achieving greater success in the future will help you build confidence too!

We know that things are tough right now. Please don't hesitate to reach out! We are here for you and want to offer support in resolving any challenges you might face.

In both distance learning and if/when we move to hybrid learning, students will be learning two ways: synchronously and asynchronously.

Synchronous learning refers to live Zoom classes and meetings, when students will be working directly with teachers and peers. Synchronous learning will happen at least once per day for each student.

Asynchronous learning refers to the learning students will be doing with the help of pre-recorded videos from teachers, and the work they do independently.

Unlike spring distance learning, grading is required, as outlined by the Oregon Department of Education. We use a proficiency model, and grades are weighted so that assignments/prep work is worth 80%, and assessments are worth 20%. Students are encouraged to change and re-do assignments based on teacher feedback.

Teachers will grade individual assignments in Google Classroom so students can see comments and change or re-do their work, but overall grades will be tracked in Home Access.

BREAKFAST & LUNCH

Grab-and-go student breakfasts and lunches will be available (at no charge) at every Bethel school beginning Tuesday, September 15^th.

Bethel students can pick up free warm grab-and-go meals at schools on Tuesdays and Fridays between 11:00am-1:00pm. Students will also be provided multi-meal boxes to cover Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

The twice-a-week pick-up schedule is intended to decrease the number of days families will have to drive to their school for student meals.

Please see the Food for Lane County site for a full list of meal sites in the Eugene and surrounding areas.
