CHROMEBOOKS

Students--Please remember to bring your school-issued Chromebooks to campus each day in order to complete the learning activities in each of your classes. We have limited Chromebooks available as back-ups and want to ensure everyone is able to participate fully each day. Please also note that students may use personal devices to access college courses during their SDL periods only. If you have any issues with your school-issued Chromebooks please let us know and we will take care of it as soon as possible. Thank you!

VIRTUAL COURSE ONBOARDING ORIENTATION

All students taking a virtual course who were unable to attend our orientation should watch the recorded video to get the most important information. If you have any questions about virtual courses you are taking, please reach out directly to your teacher.

PARENT POWER HOUR

Need even more support getting set up for this year? Wondering how to view your students grades or track their academic progress, how to locate the links to their Zoom courses or message their teachers? Join us for Parent Power Hour hosted by our incredible Virtual Lead and CAHS PL Parent, Nicki Chase, as she helps our families navigate through our amazing PL programs. Join us this upcoming Friday, September 5th from 11am-12pm; you can access the Parent Power Hour through this Zoom link. 

Absent/Tardy Procedures

If your student is going to be absent or tardy, please send an email to plcattendance@classicalacademy.com or call the attendance line at (760) 462-1585 to excuse them.  Students who are excused to be tardy will then be issued a tardy pass at the front desk when they arrive.

If your student anticipates being absent from school for more than two weeks, please have them complete the Extended Absence Form and submit the completed form to the front desk at least two weeks prior to their planned absence.

Instructional Engagement

As a California independent study school, we are required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. There is no negative impact for the student if they do not attend.

At CAHS PL, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through workshop classes, synchronous virtual courses and Monday Office Hours. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their teacher directly.

We are required to notify families when students do not take part (lack of attendance) and encourage all students to access the available resources.

Thank you for your continued support.
