RHS


Schedule

  • Will follow an A/B schedule (see schedule below)

  • The biggest change is that we will hold more synchronous classes and live help. Students will need to “attend” class during set times and be held more accountable for participation in classwork.

  • Teachers will proactively communicate with students via the Schoology course update daily (on day of course) by the times of the periods in each grade level schedule.

  • Teachers will answer emails and/or hold small group/one on one conferences using videoconferencing during their publicized office hours.

1920SY RHS Remote Learning Schedule 4.20 - 5.1

Instructional Methods

  • All teachers will utilize Schoology, our district’s Learning Management System, to facilitate remote learning.

  • Teachers use a variety of types of instruction: synchronous, hybrid, and asynchronous (see chart below)

    • Synchronous or live instruction via videoconferencing

    • Hybrid approach with live help and period-based assignment

    • Asynchronous with live help and daily-based assignment

  • Teachers will teach a live lesson about once a week through the use of videoconferencing (Zoom, Google Hangouts Meet, or Schoology Conferences). Teachers should communicate this time as far in advance to students as possible. The main point of this is personal connection as well as an opportunity to do some live teaching. Teachers will take attendance and report any students not present according to school procedures.

Assessment

  • Student work will be collected via Schoology.

  • Teachers can use the assessment features of Schoology as well as other creative assessment methods.

  • Assessments will still be given but teachers have been encouraged to be “compassionate, generous, and flexible” in grading.

  • Reports cards will go out on April 13 as planned.

  • All statewide assessments (NJSLA) have been canceled for 2020.

Accountability and Attendance

  • Accountability

    • The expectation is that all students are participating in instruction as designed by their teacher.

      • Attendance will be taken during live classes as students must attend these classes.

      • Assignment submission will count for attendance for hybrid/asynchronous instruction.

      • Teachers will report any issues to the attendance office and building administration for follow up. Teachers will monitor online participation and follow up with students who are not regularly participating.

  • Attendance

    • If your child is sick and cannot participate on a given day, please email the attendance office at rhsattendance@ramsey.k12.nj.us by 10:00 AM. You can also call the main office and leave a message. This will count as an official absence.
