Supervised Study
Students are responsible for going to performance music (band, chorus, orchestra).
Expectation is that students are working quietly and independently.
Free reading is typically an activity of last resort because, while we encourage reading, we want students to complete the work assigned first in case questions arise. Students can visit the other teachers as needed to get questions answered.
Excellent opportunity to ask questions and complete work.
Students also have the opportunity to go to the LC or front office as necessary.
Google Classroom
In the past, parents and students have used Canvas as a classroom management system. This year, the district is piloting Google Classroom. Like with any new system, there's a learning curve. We will continue to iron out the kinks together!
While parents were able to be observers in Canvas, the district is still working on how to connect parents to Google Classroom. Look for more information from the district in the future about this process.
Absences
We cannot stress enough the importance of students checking Google Classroom when they are absent due to illness, appointments, or performance music. All of our materials are linked on this site for each of our classes.
Please call Kennedy's main office or absence line if your child is going to be absent or leave early for an appointment. They are the official record keepers of this type of information.
Infinite Campus
Infinite Campus is the online gradebook.
The gradebook is updates frequently, so we suggest that students get in the habit of checking their grades every Friday during supervised study. We are available to answer questions regarding grades during supervised study.
Chromebooks
There are NO parent login accounts for student Google accounts/Chromebook access. Students would have to share their login and password in order for parents to get onto the Chromebook to see what is in their drive and in their email.
We consistently remind students of the expectations of the Chromebooks, as outlined in the documentation both students and parents signed. It is a district device and should be used to accomplish tasks associated with learning. It is NOT a device for streaming, coding, or exploring non-educational skills or tasks.
We use the Chromebooks every day, but not all day. We continue to employ a balance of digital and analog teaching methods, choosing the right fit for the students in front of us.
