DAILY ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION

Parents please don't forget that daily learning is an important part of student achievement. This means that students should be logging in daily for class, and returning to class after each scheduled break.

Teachers assign work to be done during class, as well as independently (homework, small group, and independent work time). The goal is that students are to complete all assignments. If your child needs support, their teachers are here to help. Asking questions is an important part of learning.

NORMS

Come to class on time.
Enter the virtual classroom with your microphones muted.
Return to class after assigned breaks.
Remain in class for the duration of every lesson.
Complete all assignments (synchronous and asynchronous).

CAMERA USE DURING CLASS TIME

We highly encourage your child to use their camera during class time. There are several benefits for having cameras on. (Camera use is not required).
