RMS Wildcat Weekly
June 11th, 2021 Information for our Families
Greetings Wildcat Families!
Happy Friday!
We had another exciting week! Thank you to Mr. Anderson and our amazing RMS Beginning Band for the wonderful concert performance on Wednesday! I could hardly believe that this was the first time our beginning band students played together as a whole, and they produced fantastic music! So impressive! And thank you to Mrs. Inouye and our wonderful RMS Choir for the beautiful virtual choir concert on Thursday! The gift of their music was spectacular, and their ability to rise above challenges and grow in their musical abilities this year is remarkable!
Our students across all grade levels are ending the year with fun activities, exciting projects, and beautiful creations. They are showing their determination (our June PAWS of the Month) to end the year strong.
Next week is our last week of the school year! Please read through all the announcements to make sure you are informed about all end of year activities!
A few highlights to look for in this week's Wildcat Weekly:
- Yearbooks are here! If you would like to purchase a yearbook, you may do so online or in the office (cash only).
- Last day of school, June 18, is a minimum day. Students will be released at 11:30am.
- Spirit Week next week!
- Important info for Chromebook and textbook returns!
- ALL GRADE LEVELS: Please read the information about traffic flow for June 18 (last day) and watch the video for details.
Thank you, and have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Heather Golly

Cameras On!
- Turn your cameras on during specific portions of the lesson as determined by the teacher.
- Respond verbally or in writing when prompted.
- Utilize the Chat feature appropriately to communicate with teachers and peers.
It is crucial that cameras are on and that students are actively participating in class in order to support engagement, community-building, and motivation for learning. We need your support as parents/guardians to stress the importance of these expectations with our Wildcats. Students who have particular issues having their cameras on should reach out to their teachers.

Hapara News
Exciting news! We are pleased to announce that a very helpful tool called Hapara is now working with our Canvas and is once again available for our teachers. Hapara is an important tool to assist teachers with digital citizenship and classroom management. This tool allows teachers to monitor what students are accessing during class on their Chromebooks. We will be supporting our teachers in setting it up for their classes, and we wanted our parents to be aware of this tool and what it does. We have attached letters that detail the privacy policy and how we are adhering to the ethical monitoring policy for this instructional tool. Please let us know if you have any questions.

High School Information:
Attendance
Attendance is key to student success! Please encourage your student to sign on to virtual learning every day and on time. Teachers are required by Senate Bill 98 to take attendance every period, every day.
Students are considered "present" if they log in to their scheduled Live Zoom meetings each day (synchronous) AND if they log on and complete any work during their Learning Options & Work Time (asynchronous) periods.
If students complete work early in a Learning Options & Work Time period, they can log in early for a different period and continue independently with their work in that class. The intention is for each student to log in to each of their classes every day and make progress on their classwork.
New Attendance Codes:
A = absent
1 = present for a live Zoom meeting
2 = present for an asynchronous period (by logging into the class on Canvas and working on classwork)
Remember, absences must be cleared within 72 hours (3 school days) after the student returns to school. If your student was accidentally marked absent or if you are planning a trip in which your student will miss 5 or more school days, please notify the attendance two weeks in advance to set up an independent study contract.
If you have any concerns, please communicate with your student's teacher or with our attendance office (760) 726-8003 x63020 or yeseniabeas@vistausd.org
