Student Absences/Logging in for Live Instruction
We ask that students continue to complete this daily self-check each morning: https://bit.ly/DSDscreener We want students to remain home if they have possible symptoms of COVID-19, however, we want learning to continue. The BlueJeans platform for blended learning is for students to continue learning while sick or quarantined. ALL students have been taught how to login to BlueJeans and how to find the code for each teacher. In order for us to mark a student’s attendance as present, the student must follow their daily schedule by virtually attending each class in BlueJeans. This is a new attendance process that we are continually working on, so we appreciate your patience. Some notes for parents to know about our attendance process, with changes from last week’s newsletter highlighted in bold for you to see the difference:
We still need you to call the office in the morning (or email attendance@dodgeland.k12.wi.us) to notify us that your child is staying home and for what reason.
The office will keep track of this list each day. Teachers will check BlueJeans during each class period to see if students are in virtual attendance and mark it appropriately.
If a student does not login to BlueJeans, they will be marked absent (if there has been no parent contact). The office will enter the absence in PowerSchool if a parent calls so it is excused (and so parents don't receive the attendance call) and then teachers are informing the office of students being online so the office can change it to present online. If a student doesn’t sign into BlueJeans and gets marked absent and we receive get a parent contact regarding the absence, the attendance call will go out.
If a student does not login to BlueJeans, they will be marked absent.
A student does not need to login to BlueJeans for a Study Hall, they should just use this time for school work.
If a student has tech issues during a class, the student should email the teacher to inform them of their attempts to get into class. However, please know teachers will not see this during class, but can follow-up with the student later about how to catch up.
Planning for College - FAFSA
Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as the FAFSA, is the most important step you can take to get money to help pay for college. All federal financial aid programs, many state aid programs, and some programs offered by individual colleges require students to complete the FAFSA. Because the FAFSA unlocks so many types of financial aid, students from families of all incomes should complete the FAFSA.
Students and their parents can complete the FAFSA starting on October 1, 2020.
Complete the FAFSA online at https://fafsa.gov
If you have questions, or need assistance completing the FAFSA, contact the financial aid office of the school you plan to attend, or Mr. Dunn, high school counselor.
