Every student is required to have a backup plan.
We are a public school, just like the ones in your community. If your student doesn't show up to the school building they are marked absent even if they have a good reason.
For example, you are having transportation issues. Yes, it's a legitimate reason why you couldn't make it to school, but your student will still be marked as absent. It is the student's and the guardian's responsibility to find a way for the student to get to school.
It works the same way in a virtual school setting. If you can't use your laptop or the Wi-Fi is down (your transportation), it is your responsibility to find a way to log in and attend school.
Students who miss school days for this reason will be marked absent.
Some things to consider are:
Where will you work if your normal internet service goes down? Some families have a device with a hotspot, or they go to their local library or coffee shop with free wi-fi.
If you have a K12 loaner computer, and it breaks or gets a virus, call K12 Tech Support at 866-512-2273 immediately and then notify your Advisor.
Whose or what computer can you borrow while you wait for K12 to fix it or send you a replacement?
If you do not have a K12 computer, where will you get your computer fixed if something happens to it? What will you use until your computer is fixed?
