Attendance Will Count Every Day for Every Student Starting the Aug. 24th!
- Students will be required to attend school each day whether in person or virtually. Therefore, teachers will be taking daily attendance.
- Students who are virtual learners can be marked present each day one of three ways: 1) they attend class in real-time virtually via Schoology at the time the class physically meets in the building, 2) they complete the assignment for the day the same day it was assigned, 3) they attend the virtual meeting with the teacher during the day to be marked present for that day.
- Students must attend each day in one of these three ways in order to be marked present virtually for that day of school.
- Students who hand in all their work for the week on Monday will not be marked present the rest of the week unless they virtually show up for their class or attend an office hour with their teacher each day of the week.
- Parents will have access to all areas of their child's Schoology account and can see when then turned in their assignments.
504, SE, and Other Important Meetings
Please pay attention to email, as some 504 documents have been sent out for virtual signing for students with asthma and allergies only.
If you would like to have a parent teacher meeting with your child's teachers at any time during the year, you will need to call the campus at 210-397-5000 to set up the appointment with the level administrator or Academic Dean.
