Welcome!
Did you know?
Are you getting calls that your child is absent, but they are logged on and doing their work?
This is a common occurrence that we have been hearing about. Please be sure your child is logged into their zoom meeting 3-5 minutes before class starts, as attendance is taken at the beginning of the meeting, and if they happen to be a few minutes late, they may be being marked as absent.
