• Students should be in the building to be marked present on their group A or B day.
• Attendance on virtual days for the A group (W, Th, Fr) or for the B group (M, T, W) will be based on the following:

* Students are required to complete assignments via google classroom or another means while working at home during virtual days.

* Assignments must be completed prior to coming to school on their group A or B day.

Attendance Procedures For Digital Academy Students

Students’ attendance will be taken based on academic progress within the Edgenuity platform in Digital Academy.

• Teachers will review students’ progress on a weekly basis.
• Students will have Monday- Sunday to complete assignments for each day.
• Logging in is NOT being tracked, completed assignments ARE being tracked.
• Weekend work is ALWAYS accepted.
• Students failing to complete required assignments for a given day will be considered absent, if their progress indicates they are “behind”.
• Students that demonstrate adequate progress in the course and are “on track” will not be considered absent.

In summary, if a student is making adequate progress and not falling behind in any course, the student will be considered “present”. If a student is falling behind and not doing work on a daily basis, the student will be considered “absent”.

Please reach out to Mrs. Sherman, your Digital Academy teacher, or Mrs. Shick if you have any questions.
