Engagement Expectations
In order to ensure that all students are successful in a remote learning environment, we have established the following expectations related to student engagement. These expectations will allow students to get the most out of their learning experiences and support the development of a well-rounded scholar:
Cameras must be on at all times. If the camera is not able to be on the following expectations are in place:
- Parent/Guardians must communicate with the classroom teacher the reasons.
- Permissible reasons include, but are not limited to, device issues, medical and mental health reasons, and special education accommodations.
- If the camera is not working, the parent/guardian shall work with the school to correct the issue.
- The scholar must be actively engaged within the lesson as communicated by the teacher. This includes, but is not limited to the use of the chat, verbal communication, use of learning applications such as SeeSaw, break-out rooms, virtual whiteboards, etc.

1st Quarter Progress Reports will go out in the mail this week. Please reach via email out to the classroom teacher is you have any questions or would like to schedule a conference. Email addresses can be found here.
The above survey is critical in providing families with the supports they may need. Please take a few minutes to fill this survey out. If you need your scholar's ID number, please ask the teacher or call the office at 216-838-7250.

NEW TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES
As CMSD continues to strive to provide all scholars with a digital device to allow for learning in a modern society, guidelines for effective use and care of these devices is critical. With this in mind, the district has developed the Family Digital Device Guidelines as outlined in the below pamphlet.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself and your scholars with these guidelines and expectations as they will be fully enforced starting this summer and for the 2022-2023 school year.
Some key take-aways from these guidelines include, but are not limited to:
- Device care expectations.
- Digital and internet safety guidelines.
- Device replacement procedures.
- 1st replacement will be free
- 2nd replacement will require a $50 replacement fee.
- 3rd replacement will require a family conference and intervention plan, along with a $50 replacement fee.
- Intentionally damaged devices will only be replaced after the full cost of the damaged device is provided.
- Lost devices will require a police report number before a replacement device is provided.
Thank you for continuing to support your scholars as they learn appropriate care and use of digital learning tools.
