Sand Creek High School (Grades 9-12)
Student Expectations (During School Shutdowns)
This instructional format requires students to attend school from home in an online setting via Google Classroom 5 days a week. Students should check for and complete assignments daily for each class based on individual teacher instructions. Daily assignments will be posted by 8 a.m. each day. Online learning requires a strong student commitment to self-motivated learning in an online setting. It is recommended that students follow a schedule similar to in-person learning in which they check Google Classroom during each regularly scheduled class period. Successful students learning in an online format understand that communication is key and will email teachers promptly with questions and concerns. Students should check their grades using Home Access Center, not Google Classroom.
All students will work on assignments using the resources provided by their teachers. Students are expected to complete their assignments on time. Students are encouraged to use the learning tools being provided (Google Meets, Google Docs, instructional videos, etc.) through their teacher’s Google Classroom.
Every student is expected to turn in their online assignments by the due dates set by their teachers. These assignments are being graded and count towards each student’s grade. These assignments are not optional. If students do not turn in their assignments on time, they will be scored as zeros which could translate to a failing grade for the class and loss of HS credit.
It is expected that all students grades 9-12 attend a virtual Google Meet session every Wednesday (starting on November 18th) during your assigned class period according to their regular schedule; students should be on time for their Google Meet sessions. Class starting times are posted on the school website under each teacher’s Google Classroom link. These Google Meet sessions are designed for teachers to check-in with online students for the purpose of attendance and academic support. Teachers will also use Google Meet time to provide essential social-emotional support. Additionally, teachers will offer office hours and/or individual Google Meets on Monday and Friday. These scheduled Meets may be student or teacher initiated and will take place during the student’s normal class schedule.
Sand Creek teachers have developed a Google Site for students, parents and teachers. This Google Site has short instructional videos on basic through advanced skills students will need and use while going through virtual learning.
