Education Rights and Responsibilities During COVID-19 (English)
Education Rights and Responsibilities During COVID-19 (Spanish)
The district has developed an online process for students who wish to request a Verification of Enrollment (VOE) form. Please plan ahead and submit your request at least 48 hours in advance of your need. VOEs will be sent via email once processed.
Attendance Update
Whether it is an asynchronous or synchronous day of learning, attendance is taken every day for every class. In an effort to help make attendance taking more efficient for both students and teachers, Jasper HS teachers will utilize a Google Attendance Form that students must submit daily during synchronous or asynchronous learning. This will be the primary way for teachers to monitor attendance. Additionally, your student needs to login every day through WebDesk to complete daily assignments so that engagement may be tracked should there be any inconsistencies.
As a reminder, your student’s teacher has full control over his or her attendance. If for some reason your student did not attend class (during synchronous learning) or login (during asynchronous learning), he or she has until 11:59 pm of that same school day to login, complete, and submit work to the teacher. The next day, that absence will be reconciled by the teacher as they check work submitted. As such, you may receive an automated phone call in the evening communicating an absence for that day. These calls are a reminder that the student still has a chance to login and reconcile the absence through completion of the Google Attendance Form and work submission. We encourage you to allow teachers the subsequent day following an absence to reconcile it before contacting them regarding attendance errors.
Bell Schedule for 8/17 - 9/4
- Students will login daily for all classes each day whether they are learning synchronously or asynchronously. Students will complete a Google Form indicating their attendance for each class.
- On-time attendance at the times specified below are required for all synchronous lessons. Attendance is taken daily.
- Teachers will provide asynchronous assignments and learning opportunities that are required to be completed each Monday. Mondays may also be utilized for tutorials and club meetings. That schedule will be shared through teachers and club sponsors.
- Homeroom is required each Monday from 12:10-12:40. Students will attend synchronously with their 4th period teacher. Homeroom will not meet Tuesday through Friday.
- On Tuesday through Friday, students will only meet synchronously with their teachers for part of the day, either morning or afternoon depending on the class periods. When not scheduled for a synchronous lesson, asynchronous assignments and learning will be provided by the teacher.
Synchronous Learning is defined as two-way, real-time, live, instruction between teachers and students, through the computer or other electronic devices.
Plano ISD student expectations for synchronous learning:
Students attend class on time, per their class schedule.
Students will follow Plano ISD dress code.
Students are ready to engage and learn.
Students should have a designated, distraction-free workspace to engage in learning.
Students will show their face on the screen to engage with the teacher virtually.
Students will participate in the class activities, discussions and assignments.
Asynchronous Learning is a curricular experience where students engage in the learning materials on their own time, interacting intermittently with the teacher via the computer or other electronic devices. In this setting, teachers will provide instruction, learning resources and support through the use of Google Classroom.
