Distance Learning Attendance Procedures & Expectations
● Attendance will be measured by the full day. Attendance in our Distance Learning Program is defined as evidence of “engaging with the assigned material” at least one time per day.
● Evidence of attendance will be measured in at least one of the following ways (including, but not limited to):
• Assignments submitted that were due on that day
• Questions to answer in Learning Management System
• Participation in an online discussion in Learning Management System
• Class participation during the scheduled class time
• Scholar participation during scheduled related services
• Phone call with the teacher or Related Services provider
● It is expected that parents shall, to the maximum extent possible, ensure that their child participates in the distance learning program.
● Parents do not need to call if their child is unavailable for the designated class time, as long as the scholar completes the daily assignment.
● If a scholar will not be able to participate in any learning activities that day, a parent can email the scholar’s homeroom teacher on the same day of the absence. The absence will be considered excused.
● The scholar will receive an unexcused absence when:
• a scholar does not participate in any part of the learning activities for the day,
• has not checked in with the teacher, and
• when the scholar’s parent does not contact the teacher.
