Family Travel Update
If your child(ren) is traveling this holiday season, complete a Request for Approved Absence Form. Out of an abundance of caution, students who travel must refrain from in-person instruction.
In compliance with the district's Health and Safety Plan, students who travel will not be able to return for a period of 10 days without testing, or after 7 days with a negative test on or after day 5. Any questions about this procedure can be directed to Cindy Faville in the Linden Office, at cfaville@cbsd.org.
Student Absences
In-Person Absences: Students will be marked absent if they are not in school that day. If the student should be physically present but is participating virtually due to COVID related concerns, the teacher will mark the attendance as "Participating Virtually". This will give the student credit for attendance.
Online Absences: If a student does not attend class, the student will be marked absent until we receive the communication from parents. Note: If a student logs-in initially, but leaves the call or does not engage, the comment "Virtually Cut" will be added to the comments section.
Please contact Cindy Faville in the Linden Main office at cfaville@cbsd.org with any questions.
Live-Streaming
Virtual instruction is available for any student who is absent more than 2 days for COVID related causes, such as illness or travel.
Once a teacher is notified, we will make arrangements including a materials pick-up at school. Live streaming will begin on day 3 of the absence, or earlier if feasible. This instruction may vary slightly depending upon the academic needs and age of the student. Note: knowing that the majority of students in the class are in-person, there will be times when the teacher is not in camera view.
