Synchronous Plan:

Assignments and activities will be posted in Schoology for students to complete.
These assignments and activities can be completed with the teacher or independently, as indicated by the teacher.
The teacher will announce when the assignments are due in Schoology; however, they must be turned in no later than the end of the school day.
If a hard copy of the assignment is required, the teacher should note this in Schoology.
Teachers must accept make-up work for those reporting an excused absence as noted in our attendance procedures.
Asynchronous Plan:
Learning is independent, and students are working on assignments given by the teacher.
The same communication plan will be implemented. The district will advise the student body that they are to log into Schoology and complete all assignments asynchronously.
This plan will follow the student’s daily schedule.
Teachers will post asynchronous lessons and instructional activities in Schoology for each class/course.
All assignments will be submitted by the end of the day for attendance and grading purposes.
Teachers will take attendance based on work completed.
At the end of the day, students who fail to participate in the FID will be considered absent and should be marked as such in eSchool.
If students cannot connect, they must submit a hard copy of their work the following day.
Teachers will be checking their email throughout the day if there are any questions.
