Description
An eLearning day is a virtual school day that can occur when school would otherwise have been canceled due to inclement weather or for other reasons. eLearning days are similar to traditional school days in most ways: attendance will be recorded, students will engage in learning activities facilitated by teachers, and the discipline code is in effect. Instruction and learning activities will be provided through the use of the school issued iPad and not at the school building.
Attendance - eLearning Schedule
Students are responsible for signing in to Google Meet for each of their assigned periods on eLearning days. Each teacher will post their Google Meet link to their Canvas course. Each period will be 30 minutes (See Schedule Below).
An eLearning day is a regular school day. If students do not sign-in to Google Meet for each period, they will be marked absent for that period. If a student is ill or otherwise would have been absent, parents can still report the absence using the Attendance line at 708-741-5860.
Assignments
Students will access course work and assignments through their teacher’s Canvas course just as they would do while present in school. Teachers will post Google Meet links in Canvas for students to access the class for the day. Just as in a regular school day, attendance is separate from academic assignment completion. Students must login to Google Meet for attendance separately from assignment access. Course work will be academically worthwhile and may combine both direct instruction and independent work time. There will be at least 5 clock hours of instruction/school work happening on these eLearning days.
Teacher Availability
Teachers will be live on Google Meet during each assigned class period. Additionally, all teachers will be available via email between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
Problems on an eLearning day
- For assignment questions, consider what a student would do on a regular school day, such as contacting a classmate or emailing the teacher.
- For technology issues, please email [email protected] or call (708) 424-4740 and leave a message; a staff member will get back to you that day.
If students are unable to access the internet due to issues such as power outages or other acts outside of their control, teachers will allow students extra days to make-up their homework/classwork once students are back in the school building.
