Hybrid Student Expectations
Please note on the days you are not in attendance at school that you should be working on tasks that your teachers have assigned to you during your face to face learning experience. You should be prepared to return to school with questions or concerns related to the content. Be sure to follow the directions provided by your teachers on their schoology pages.
Zoom Etiquette
Students are reminded to use your full name when entering into a zoom session. You should have your camera on at the start of the zoom for attendance taking purposes.
Virtual College Visits
Our college visits are going virtual for the 2020-2021 school year. Colleges will continue to host visits for Novi High School students but will do so virtually after school via zoom. Students will learn about majors, campus life, admissions, and scholarships. In many cases, students have an opportunity to ask questions directly to our representatives. Keep in mind that often times these are the representatives assigned to Novi and will be the ones reviewing your applications so proper dress and behavior is expected. All grade levels are welcome; however, students who are not following the Novi High School student code of conduct will not be permitted to participate in future college visits.
If you are interested in exploring our college visits and obtaining the zoom link, please visit the counseling schoology resources under the college resources folder or click this link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vgbz6nXOEFVgWVMSjOyjaaS5FdjIrKkE8SqhQ4GFztw/edit?usp= sharing . Additional College visits are added weekly so check back often.
School Picture Information
Hybrid students will have an opportunity to take their school pictures during lunches on Monday, September 28, and Tuesday, September 29. Our virtual students will have an opportunity to have their picture taken on Tuesday, September 29 from 2:30-4:30 pm.
Picture retakes will be Thursday, November 12, and Friday, November 13 during lunches.
