VIRTUAL DAY BELL SCHEDULE
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL WORK DURING VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION
Your child is expected to access Teams and Teams Meeting, as well as all other forms of communication and lesson delivery from their teacher(s) and complete assignments as assigned. Failure to do so could negatively impact his/her grades.
NEW PARENT PORTAL FOR EXCUSES
Even though students record their attendance in gradebook, we still require written excuses for all student absences. Realizing that it may be some time before students return to school, we created a way parents/guardians can submit excuses electronically.
Parents will log on to and fill in the fields within.
After an excuse is submitted, an e-mail receipt will be sent to the parent/guardian.
We will audit the excuses, and may randomly call home to check the validity of the excuses. We may also require additional written information in support of the excuse.
To access the portal, parents/guardians simply need to go to the school district website and click on the "Students/Parents" tab at the top of the page. A pull down menu will appear, and the first item is "HS Absence Excusal." Click on the link and you will be directed to an online form to complete.
ATTENDANCE
Students are reminded that they MUST log on to their student account between the hours of 6:00 AM and 9:30 AM to record their attendance for the day. Students who do not record their absence will be marked absent-unexcused for the day. We stress that recording their attendance is an important step in the student virtual day.
The school day begins at 8:00 AM
Virtual days are school days, and absences require excuses in the same way that an absence on a face-to-face day would require one
Even though a student logs in and records their daily attendance, each teacher will be accounting for the students on their rosters each period.
TEACHER CONTACT
TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE
As always, the tech help line is available at 239-0348 for technology related questions/help. You may also e-mail tech support at: support@cksdbulldogs.com
SCHOOL COUNSELOR AND SOCIAL WORKER AVAILABILITY
Even though school will be conducted virtually, Mr. Bilchak, Ms. Hinkledire, and Mrs. Heckman will be available to students. Students needing their assistance may contact them through e-mail or by phone.
ATHLETICS AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
All in-person extracurricular activities and open gyms are cancelled while we are in remote learning mode. Students who are on an athletic team or in an activity should communicate directly with their coach or advisor about any changes to this arrangement. Admittance of a student into the school during the day will only be permitted with the approval of the building principal. Remember, the virtual school days are meant to limit student contact and exposure so that we can remain safe and in school as many days as possible.
