Assurance Forms
Blended Learning Remote Check-Ins
The Kansas State Department of Education requirement is to have a once a day check in on any day students are learning from home. As an extra support for our blended learners on their remote days, we are incorporating a check-in time each morning for students with their teacher. Teachers have shared their check-in time and process with students and families in their class. All blended learning students need to check-in with their teacher at the time provided on their remote days. Daily connection with each student is important and will assist in understanding of the days activities. This also meets the requirement by the Kansas State Department of Education for daily contact with students on any day that they are learning from home. Students that do not show up are marked absent. Thank you!
