Update on attendance
We recognize that there are students who may be in the situation where they are sharing a device and will be unable to log into all synchronous sessions. For this reason, the following protocols are established to address this issue:
- Families will contact the attendance line of your child’s school to report that their child may not be able to attend synchronous zoom sessions due to sharing of a device. Families only need to do this once (not every day.)
- For attendance purposes a student must complete the Daily Attendance Assignment assigned by the teacher in the Google Classroom
- Students who are unable to log into the synchronous session will not be held accountable for attendance at synchronous zoom sessions. Their attendance will be based on completion of the Daily Attendance Assignment.
If your student will be unable to attend all synchronous (Zoom) sessions due to sharing a device, please contact the school attendance line and leave a message with the student’s name and homeroom. The attendance line for Arrowhead is listed below:
Arrowhead Attendance Line: 610-831-5331
