REMINDERS
Update on Communication to Parents, Families and Students.
Please make contact every day with your students through (google classroom, email etc…). That doesn’t mean a new assignment everyday. It could be follow-up to emails and posts from students. It could be encouragement and comments on current assignment etc…, but I want to keep interactions up with students to help them stay connected and engaged. Please respond to student inquiries, posts and emails within 24 hours.
Make sure students are engaged in your classes. This is your attendance. If a student has not engaged in your activities and is not responsive to your emails and correspondence, then please reach out to a parent via email and/or phone. If an email does not work, please call the parent and recruit their help to get the student engaged.
If after parental contact the student is still not engaging in the content, please bring that to my attention.
See the CONFIDENTIAL contact information file in the TEAM APP
- Reminder that if you are having technical issues please put in a ticket with Marco
Should you need tech support from the IT Dept- please send your request to: mit@marconet.com 1-800-847-3097
