DISMISSAL B 3:05
• This is a virtual classroom, therefore, appropriate classroom behavior is expected.
• Log into your class or meeting from a distraction-free, quiet environment.
• Please keep your audio on mute until you want to speak. This will help to limit background noise.
• Consider using a headset with an external mic for best hearing and speaking capabilities.
• Close unneeded applications on your computer to optimize the video quality.
• If you would like to speak or answer a question, use the “Raise Hand” feature. Then unmute yourself after you are called on by your teacher.
• When you are speaking, let others know that you are finished by saying something like, “That’s all,” or “I’m done,” or “Thank you,” so that everyone knows you have finished your comments.
• If you would like to use the chatbox, remember that it is public, and a record of the chat is kept and archived.
• Keep paper and a pen or pencil handy to take notes.
• Make sure your video is on (if you have camera capabilities) so your teacher and peers can see you.
• Be mindful of your background lighting. If you are sitting with your back to a window, you may be silhouetted by the light coming through. Your overhead light might also need to be adjusted for the best image quality.
• Please take care of your personal needs (appropriate dress, basic hygiene, eating, chewing gum, talking to others in your home, etc.) prior to entering a Zoom classroom.
• Please do not use profanity or inappropriate language.
• Remember to sign out or “leave the meeting” when the session is finished.

A Student is considered present if:
Grades 5-12- The student is online/participating for the synchronous instruction during the period AND turns in the required evidence/assignment each period to your Google Classroom. (Attendance Assignment)
Attendance Assignment Definition: The Attendance Assignment is determined by the teacher and the record of submission must be available to building principal upon request.
Attendance Assignment should be tied to the learning goal. This does not have to be a huge endeavor. It can be any evidence/assignment that can be recorded as being submitted by the student and is evidentiary of their participation in the learning during each period for 5-12 or by the 10 AM and 2 PM deadlines for 1-4 and assigned session for Kindergarten.
Examples include:
1. Exit ticket (Kahoot, Google form, etc.)
2. Test
3. Quiz
4. Project based
5. Presentation
6. Written assignments
NOTE: In the instance that a period or day is completely asynchronous instruction, a student is present by submitting Attendance Assignment only.
NOTE: If the assignment is turned in and the student did not attend the synchronous lesson OR the student attended the synchronous lesson and did not turn in the assignment the student is considered absent in both scenarios.
NOTE: If a student is attending another district event (related service, counseling appointment, music lesson, etc) that student will be considered present even if they miss the synchronous event of their scheduled period.
Each Building Office will process attendance for excuses/unexcused etc. as they have done so during normal school operations. If teachers receive an email that a student will be arriving late or leaving early, that should be forwarded to your secretary in charge of attendance.
If you mark a student as present or absent and later discover an error, please send an email to the secretary in charge of attendance explaining the change and reason for the change.
At the end of each day, the attendance secretary will run a percent of time attended to day report. All students who have a percentage above 66% will be marked present for the day.
