Addendum Distance Learning/Online Learning Contract 1) Students will access and complete assignments online when absent from in-person instruction at school. 2) Attendance will be taken the first ten minutes of class via ZOOM. Students who are not on ZOOM at this time will be marked absent, but should still check for and complete the classroom assignments. 3) Students will check the assignment calendar on their teacher’s webpage or google classroom page daily for instructions and assignments. 4) Students are responsible for keeping track of due dates and adhering to the due dates. No assignments will be accepted after one week (7 days) past due date. The teacher may deduct points for late assignments. 5) Students must turn in assignments digitally through the platform designated by their instructor. Google Classroom and Edgenuity are examples of digital platforms used by the teacher. Never EMAIL an assignment to a teacher without discussing it with the teacher beforehand. 6) Students may be expected to access and complete assignments on other digital platforms such as Zoom, Commonlit.org, Khan Academy, and others to be named. 7) Students should follow school guidelines for dress code and behavior for all ZOOM meeting and classroom behaviors. ZOOM meetings will be recorded. The teacher will be monitoring online activity, but please feel free to email the teacher privately if you see any inappropriate behavior in the virtual classroom. 8) Students having issues with accessing online resources and assignments must contact the teacher immediately by phone or email. It is NOT the teacher’s responsibility to troubleshoot computer problems, however, notifying the teacher may allow opportunity for extended time to complete assignments. 9) Students need to complete assignments by following the school honor code and working with integrity. Students are expected to complete work as independently as possible without accessing any outside resources. 10) Students need to begin online assignments as soon as they are assigned to allow time for comprehension and to manage their online workload. Waiting to start assignments may cause poor quality of work and preventable stress and anxiety related to school. Create a calendar of due dates and stick to it. Welcome to Culinary 1. Arts!
