Attendance

The collection of attendance data and accurate record keeping during iLearn@Home will be an essential factor in our students’ academic success. Student attendance processes will be different from previous years, as will most of our 2020-2021 practices, and attendance will be influenced by the amount of communication, interaction, and follow-up with students and parents.

Students are required to attend at least 90% of their classes to receive credit and be promoted. It is imperative that we communicate with students and parents the process to join virtual classes, turn in assignments, and complete tasks to show daily progress.

Students’ home situations may vary, and we will have to remain flexible. If a student is marked absent, the next morning the teacher will check if the student was engaged after-hours. If the student was engaged and if progress is made, the teacher will complete an adjustment form to change the absence to present. This step will be a shift from standard practice, but it is a critical step that will quickly become routine as we refine the process.

Please contact your Principal or Assistant principal if you need assistance in reaching students/parents or have questions on the attendance process.

Attendance Guidance during iLearn@Home

Grades that are entered in the gradebook must reflect the interaction that was conducted listed above. If a teacher enters a grade from an asynchronous assignment, the grade will be entered in the gradebook, they must complete and submit a form. Teachers must ensure that the interaction is connected to the assignments and content for that day’s instruction. An interaction only counts for one day of instruction. Teachers may not submit a change for more than one individual day. Students will be encouraged to be in attendance, with their teachers, during the direct instruction scheduled times, but if other reasons arise, students may view post recorded and pre-prepared activities and submit them. The campus administration will review all interaction forms weekly and contact any students who are not in routinely in attendance as outline above. All teachers will be trained on how to record attendance and complete the interaction form.

The following form will be used for adjusting student attendance for asynchronous learning:
