Distance Learning.
The 3 D's
Dressed - Same expectations as in school. Dressed in school appropriate clothing. No hoodies or hats or tank tops, etc. No offensive text / graphics.
Desk - Need to sit at a desk or table. Not in bed, hammock, etc. A quiet place where you can learn and focus.
Discuss - Same as at school. Get involved, discuss, speak up, communicate. Be present with cameras and mikes on.

Disaster D's
Drop-out of Zoom: If you get dropped from virtual class due to technical issues, get right back on or try using an alternative device. If you still can’t get back on, write an email to your teacher and copy your parents or guardians.
Don’t Show up for Virtual Class: You will be marked absent and your parents will need to excuse your absence by calling or emailing the attendance office.
Distractions & Disruptions: Phones, pets, other people.

I will check work each weekend. No questions asked. One-day absences normally won’t matter. You submit weekly work at the end of the week. And you get a week for make-up work. Emergencies and longer absences will be handled individually. Connectivity issues are NOT an excuse ( unless you followed procedures).
