• My email is kstickel@cv.k12.ca.us

• Here's a video on How to Write an Effective Email

• Students, when writing an email, please tell me your name, what period you are in, and what your question is, or what issue you are having. Please use complete sentences!

• At the top of the website, you will see "Weekly Playlists" in the black menu bar

• On the Weekly Playlists page, find this week's agenda - you will get to your assignments by going to Google Classroom

• Due dates on assignments are posted in Google Classroom

• "What's Due at My Next Google Meet?" is posted at the top of Classwork on Google Classroom

• Identify a "study buddy"--someone who also has me as their teacher. Call them up for help!

• Be sure you are attending the scheduled Google Meets, we will review and correct work at that time

• I hold "office hours" from 2:00 - 2:30 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The link to the Google Meet is posted at the top of the Classwork section of Google Classroom. If those times don't work for you, email me and we can set up another time to meet.

• I have "Office Hours", where I do small group/individual check-ins from 2:00 - 3:10 each day

• These check-ins can be done through the chat feature in your waffle (looks like an @) sign. Type in my email (kstickel@cv.k12.ca.us) and we will be in a chat room together

• Check-ins can also be done through a Google Meet - email me so I know to expect you and then I can send you a link

• Here is a resource page where you can try and troubleshoot: https://sites.google.com/cv.k12.ca.us/technology-resources/parents

• If you are having issues that prevent you from coming to a Meet or completing work, please email me to let me know!

• Click here to see the weekly schedule

• You'll find the Meet link to the Google Meet at the top of your Google Classroom page

• You will not be able to join the Google Meet before your teacher gets there, and you will need to log off at the end of the class period

1. Check the Playlist for the date you missed class

2. Have your parents send me an email verifying that you were unable to complete work on time

3. Complete the work you missed/email me if you have questions

• Here's a tutorial video (you watched it on the second day of school--right?)

• Short answer: you can look over your child's shoulder while they are signed in, but you cannot access the Google Classroom yourself

• Here's a tutorial video for PARENTS on how to get Guardian Summaries from Google Classroom

• Note - For my classes, ALL assignments students complete in Google Classroom will ALSO be recorded in Aeries, so you don't *need* the Guardian Summaries, unless you like the updates!

• Grades are entered into Aeries about once per week

• Final grades will NOT be on Google Classroom (although some assignments will have grades there)

• If you notice a mistake in Aeries, please email me ASAP so we can get it fixed

20% - Assessments

• Participation grades reflect your participation during Google Meets:

• Participate in the chat, when asked

• Answer questions, when asked

• complete Do Nows and Exit Tickets

• DIN stands for Digital Interactive Notebook - just like you might have had a paper notebook at school where you tape/glue in all of your assignments, this one is digital!

• You can get to your DIN through Google Classroom

• You will be working on pages in your DIN almost every day

• We will review pages you complete in your DIN during Google Meets. You are responsible for correcting your work as we review it. Work that is not corrected/completed will be marked down

• You will only turn in your DIN once, usually at the end of the Unit

• The DIN is worth a LOT of points, so make sure you have completed everything before turning it in

Students can always turn in late work! You will lose points for each day that your work is late, so make the effort to turn it in as soon as possible. Be sure to send an email notifying me what assignment you have submitted.

• Extra credit is available to all students.

• It is available at different times throughout the year, and may range from an extra writing assignment, to watching a video, to reporting on a current event.

• I do NOT give extra credit to students who ask me what they can do to raise their grade at the end of the quarter.

• Students can earn 1 point of Extra Credit by coming to Office Hours from 2:00 - 2:30. Students must stay for the entire time, and show me what they are working on at the conclusion of the 30 minutes.

• WORK HARD, AND ALWAYS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXTRA CREDIT WHENEVER IT IS GIVEN TO YOU!

1. Check the Playlist for the date you missed class

2. Have your parents contact the attendance office to verify your absence

3. Complete the work you missed/email me if you have questions

• Email me and we will set up a time to have a Google Meet to make a plan to get back on track!

1. Contact the attendance office - jhawes@cv.k12.ca.us

2. Email your teachers with the dates you'll miss so they can fill you in on what you'll miss

• RTI classes are meant to provide extra time and support for getting your work done

• RTI classes happen every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00 - 2:45 pm

• Different teachers will have their RTI classes on different days

• You need to log in to Edficiency cms.edf.school to see if any of your teachers have assigned you a class--not everyone will have an RTI class

• For history, you will be assigned to an RTI class if you have missing work, need to re-take a quiz, or need more help with a project/writing assignment
