Important highlights:
Students Submitting Work:
As you know, we are flexible with deadlines...the dates in the Weekly Lesson Plan and Google Classroom are a guide for students to stay on top of the work they need to finish and turn in.
In the first few weeks of online learning (March 23rd to April 3rd) students were not receiving grades. This was in part to give students grace to adjust to the technology and learning off-site.
Per the new grading policy (for assignments given on or after April 6th), it is very important for each assignment in a subject to be completed and turned in. No one assignment will be “graded” but rather we will be evaluating all the assignments within a learning target for MS: mastered or NM: Not mastered. We monitor all assignments finished or turned in within 48 hours of the due date of the assignment. We give feedback on correctness and explaining what the correct answers should be - as it is appropriate. We may also return assignments to be redone. We are also commenting if they need to complete a missing assignment in the private comment feature in their google classroom documents.
-Teachers are available to contact during the school day via email.

Technology Tips
The following are some tips on accessing technology from home:
Students can log into Google using their PISD account. This is separate from just accessing the PISD webdesk.
a. To log in to Google, click on the sign in icon located in the top right corner.
b. Username is the student’s standard PISD username with @mypisd.net added. For example, Jane Doe’s standard username is jane.doe.1, so her Google login would be jane.doe.1@mypisd.netc. Password is the student’s standard password from school (4Mav#xxxxxx) The xxxxxx stands for their Student ID number.
Students can log into PISD Webdesk at http://webdesk.pisd.edu/

b. Username is the student’s standard PISD username. For example, Jane Doe’s standard username is jane.doe.1
c. Password is the student’s standard password from school (4Mav#xxxxxx) The xxxxxx stands for their Student ID number.If you use an iPad or other Apple product, you will need to download the Google App to access the PISD sites.
