Attendance Information
School Initiated Quarantine:
OPES is responsible for providing Google Meets for school initiated quarantine, positive tests, and COVID related communication from Nurse Truong. Complete this COVID INFORMATION Form anytime you have COVID related information to share.
- Students will be marked present when attending the virtual meet
- Materials are provided to the student within a reasonable amount of time (48 hours).
- Parent Initiated/Request to self-quarantine student without COVID information form or contact with Nurse Truong:
If there is already a meet scheduled in your child's classroom for other quarantined students, the student can join the meet…..the student will still be marked absent due to the school not initiating quarantine.
The absence is listed as an unexcused absence if not school initiated.
Teachers are not responsible for providing materials until the student returns to school.
If you wish to request a change in the instructional model, all requests must be completed through the Reentry Hardship Request.
ASK ME ABOUT MY NEW FEEELINGS WORD OF THE WEEK.......
Growing Our Emotional Vocabulary in 2021!
We are choosing a new feelings word each week for us to explore. We are starting this project because we feel it is extremely important for our students to have a solid understanding of feelings. They need to be able to identify and name their feelings so that they can address them in a healthy way (you have to name it to tame it!). At the end of each week, we will share the feelings word with you so that you may have further discussions with your child at home if you choose. We hope you will share in this emotional vocabulary journey with us!
