Accessing Lessons
You may notice that there are times next to each of the assignments. These are the recommended times for the assignments to be completed. These assigned times, are also times that the most support from our teachers will be available as well. We do know that for some of our families, this schedule will not work, we do encourage you to utilize whatever time you need to get them complete. The actual due date for the assignments will be the following Sunday at 11:59PM. For example, the work for the week of April 6th (our first week of e-learning) will be due on Sunday, April 12th at 11:59PM. If you are not able to be complete the work within the assigned time window you can get an extension by calling Mr. Edwards at 317-832-4900. An extension can be granted 2 time for an assignment. After the 2 extensions - no more extensions will be granted.
Suggested Weekly Schedules
Grown- Up and Student Support
If you find that you need more support families can schedule additional check-ins or support, like:
- Does the child need help on work?
- Do you need help with the technology?
- Does the student need help from out school counselor?
- Do YOU as the parent need support or help managing the learning with your child?
Attendance
Attendance will be taken based on the work that is completed by your student. Each school day, the student is assigned 2 different lessons. To be considered present for that day, the student must complete both assignments. If one assignment is complete but one is not - the student will be marked as present for 1/2 of the day.
Examples:
Student completes both assignments: Student is marked as present
Student completes only 1 assignment: Student is marked as present for 1/2 day
Student does not complete either assignment: Student is marked absent.
