eLearning Attendance Policy
Effective 2017-18 school year elearning students will be held to the same attendance requirements as students in a face-to-face environment. Teachers will be required to take attendance of students enrolled in CMS teacher-led classes. Attendance is monitored and documented in Powerschool:
Students noted behind pace in a course without any completion of work will be considered absent.
Students on pace and showing strong academic progress (mastery level work) will be considered present.
Students logging-in with no activity will also be marked absent.
The absence is documented in Powerschool. Students accumulating 10 or more absences will fail a course. The intervention process for chronic attendance will be implemented at 3 and 5 day absences. Each morning teachers will check Powerschool and document attendance . We recognize a two day window may be needed to allow the flexibility needed for online virtual learning. .
Log-in is defined as completion of work according to the course pacing and is recommended minimum of ninety-minutes (90) per class.
