District funding and resources are linked to attendance. Attendance will be taken each day for virtual learning to ensure that students are actively engaged. During virtual instruction, students are expected to participate and fully engage as communicated by the teacher to receive attendance credit. Attendance will be taken during a specific time of the day to ensure appropriate documentation and accountability.

In addition, per Texas Education Code (TEC), §25.092, students must attend 90% of the days a course is offered in order to be awarded credit for the course and/or to be promoted to the next grade. This requirement remains in force during the 2020-21 school year. This requirement applies to both face-to-face and virtual instruction.

• Follow the designated schedule communicated by the home campus to attend class during synchronous times or face to face interaction during asynchronous learning.
• Complete daily asynchronous activities and assignments.
• Participate daily in scheduled learning activities, including small group instruction, intervention, and tutorials.
• Use proper etiquette during online learning
• Take responsibility for asking for help, asking questions, and taking advantage of tutorial sessions.
• Turn in school-work daily at the direction of the assigned teacher.
• Show up to synchronous instruction ready to learn, on time, dressed appropriately, and follow online etiquette including using video and showing your face during class.
• Attendance will be taken daily; you need to log in to your assigned classes on time.

The district Instructional Technology Team and Family Support Services will work in partnership to develop High-Quality Family Training for all remote learning tools including Seesaw, Google Classroom, and Zoom. We will provide training via:

• Webinars
• Multiple Languages
• Posted on the district website

Make certain your child follows their assigned schedules and attends all classes on time daily.

Monitor and ask for evidence that your child is on track with assignments and coursework.

Check the campus homepage for links to teacher lessons.

Provide your child with assistance on their day-to-day activities with the exception of designated independent work.

Assist in supporting your child’s needs by establishing and managing the daily schedule communicated by the teacher and the campus.

Create a designated learning space for your child at home to learn comfortably.

Maintain communication with your child’s teacher by phone, email messages, conference period, and/or online meetings to create a learning partnership.

Allow your child to struggle; it is allowed and encouraged! Don’t help too much. Becoming independent takes lots of practice.
