During this time of Hybrid and 100% Remote learning, it can be confusing to know what to do when a child isn’t feeling well enough to attend school, or a parent is erring on the side of safety. Below you will find a list of Frequently Asked Questions about our 2020-2021 school year. What should I do if my child is marked Remote Learning Unexcused Absence, but the student says they attended the online class (on their assigned online day)? If students are marked absent, families should contact the teacher to understand why the student was marked absent. This goes back to our A-B-C style of communication. Students, parents, and teachers should be directly communicating with one another. If there is an attendance correction to make, the teacher will email the correction to the attendance office. What should I do if my child isn’t feeling well on a day they are supposed to attend school, but does feel well enough to attend class online? Students not feeling well they should be kept at home. They can attend classes online without having to be changed to “Remote Learning”. However, parents must call the attendance office (303-982-5771) to excuse their child from in-person classes on those days. Teachers are required to mark students absent when they don’t attend in-person classes, even if the students attend the class online and explain it to their teachers. A parent call is required to have that absence marked as Remote Learning Present. What if my child isn’t feeling well enough to actually take part in the online/remote classes? If your child is in the Hybrid or 100% Remote Learning model, and they are not feeling well enough to take part in their online/remote classes, parents must call the attendance office (303-982-5771) to excuse their child. It would be a good idea to add the attendance line as a contact in your phone. How do I know if my child has been moved to the 100% Remote Learning model? Students that are in the 100% learning model will have an 8th period class titled “Remote Learning” in their schedule. If you don’t see the “Remote Learning” class in your child’s schedule please contact their counselor, and have them add the course. Can I still change my student to the 100% Remote Learning Model? Yes. Email the child’s counselor and let them know that you would like to change the student’s schedule to 100% Remote Learning. This change will be in place for the rest of the semester. Students should contact their teachers and let them know that they have made the change to remote. Teachers will then confirm with the student that they have contacted their counselor and have made the change officially, which can be seen by the addition of an 8th period class on their schedule called, “Remote Learning”. When and how do we make decisions about having our students attend school for the second semester in either the Hybrid or 100% remote model? Parents will be asked to complete a Google Form survey at the start of November to let us know your preferences for the second semester. Parents and students will be expected to stay in their selected Hybrid or 100% Remote model for the entire second semester. Comments are closed.
