Virtual Learning Agreement:

Please agree to all the of the following statement based on your circumstances.

If your child will be using virtual learning on a short-term basis (10 days or less), we agree that... (Check all statements to ensure agreement.)

Parents will contact the office as soon as possible when students will need to use virtual learning on a short-term basis. Parents will allow teachers 24 hours to prepare materials for pick-up. Students should not log in for class until supplies are picked up. This will count as an excused absence from school.

Information to log on for class sessions are posted in the Google Classroom under the "Classwork Tab."

Students/Parents will be responsible for logging into their session on time as assigned by the teacher and Attendance will be taken. Prayers begin at 8:40 a.m. Attendance will be taken in the homeroom classroom no later than 8:50 a.m.

Students will be expected to be seated upright with video and audio muted unless directed differently by the teacher. Turning video off without permission is the same as leaving class without permission. Students should be in an area without distractions (to include food, pets, inappropriate background scenery, etc.)

Students will be expected to be in school uniform at least from the waist up (tops).

Students will be responsible for having their own device that has internet connection capabilities unless a device is requested by a parent.

It is expected that students will be present for all classes during the day unless the teacher tells them otherwise. (For example, the student or teacher may log off or shut down the camera/voice during bathroom breaks, lunch, recess, etc.)

Students will be expected to attend Mass with their scheduled class if and when the live stream takes place.

Students/Parents are responsible for their behavior while being online. Students should follow the same code of conduct expected in the school building. If a student is disruptive, they will be given a warning. If it continues, they will be removed from the session and the parent will be notified.

Students will be responsible for completing and turning in work when assigned. All assignments are due in Google Classroom or as specified by the teacher by designated due date.

All assignments must be completed entirely before being submitted to the teacher. Failure to follow directions or submit assignments will result in a grade of 60% for the assignment.

Assessments will be given to students upon returning to school unless the teacher arranges for the assessment to be taken otherwise.

Parents/students need to communicate with the teacher on a regular basis during their short-term virtual learning commitment.

Teachers will be responsible for acknowledging the student to the best extent possible during the lesson. However, classroom behavior such as raised hand, waiting until the teacher is done speaking, etc. will be expected. (PLEASE UNDERSTAND ONLINE LEARNING IS NOT A 1:1 TEACHER METHOD) Teachers will do their best to assist the child from home, but especially for younger grades, they may need adult assistance as well.

Students/Parents are responsible for communicating with the teacher if there is an issue with connection or accessibility to an online device.

If there is a substitute teacher in a classroom for a day or two, the class will not be live streamed however work will be provided. If a teacher is out for any extended length of time, we will continue live streaming. The principal will be in contact if this occurs.

This agreement is flexible and could change as the year progresses. Notifications of changes will be communicated to parents in a timely manner.

If your child will be using virtual learning on a long-term basis (more than 10 days), we agree that... (Check all statements to ensure agreement.)

Parents will contact the office as soon as possible when students will need to use virtual learning on a long-term basis. Parents will allow teachers 24 hours to prepare materials for pick-up.
