      • What's Going On the Week of January 11, 2021

        We are so excited to welcome students back to the Ranger Nation! Please watch this welcome back Video for a brief explanation of the hybrid/synchronous plan. Please have students read the guidelines below for more detail about expectations. In addition, below is a brief summary of what teachers have been working on to get ready:

        • Canvas Consistencies-  Teachers will structure Canvas courses to consistently communicate:
          • Weekly Learning Plan: Place most recent at the top of modules
          • Google code and times
          • Naming conventions for the week (must include dates)
          • Plan must include daily assignments and clear due dates
          • Front load the assignment page with all the necessary items.
          • Use feature to assign different due dates by section if needed
        • Grades- Due to numerous complications and misunderstandings, teachers will:
          • Turn off visibility for grades in Canvas
          • Update grades weekly and Infinite Campus will be the official grade
        • Teachers learned about several new tech tools that should help students and staff maximize the potential of our current learning environment.
        • Teachers also met within Professional Learning Communities to plan for essential curriculum, instructional practices and assessment alignment.
        • We acknowledge that the plan for the spring allows teachers, students, and families an additional opportunity to demonstrate a growth mindset.  While we know it will not be perfect, we will learn from each mistake and begin again with a better strategy. Thank you for your patience and support as we all work through this together.

        COVID Safety reminders:

        • Remember that we are a Safe, Self-Managing, High performing organization- one in which we take care of one another!
        • All students will need to be wearing a mask, have their LPHS ID, and stay physically distanced entering and moving about the building throughout the day.
        • Students riding the bus will enter in the north Athletic entrance and students driving or being dropped off will enter the main entrance.
        • Students should proceed to their 1st period class when entering the building.

        January Block Calendar

        Daily/Hybrid Bell Schedule

        Student Synchronous Instruction Guidelines:

        Attendance Expectations:
        • Attendance will be taken in IC for each class period  at the beginning of the class.
        • Follow the posted bell schedule and log in at the beginning of class for attendance.
        • Students are marked absent after 15 minutes.
        • Students are marked tardy if present within the first 15 minutes of class. 
        • Chronic tardiness and absence will result in a referral.
        • Parents will be notified for any absence not called in for excusal or not related to a COVID absence.
        • Students will complete the self-check in through IC for Flex Fridays.
        • If tech/access issues arise, students/parents will be expected to communicate with teachers immediately.

        Course Structure:
        • Every course will require a live google meet component with a meaningful learning activity for each class period.   
        • Length of sessions are course and department dependent. 
        • Live Meet components can include varied types of instruction, varied types of activities (student and teacher led), and varied lengths of time.  
        • Once attendance is taken, time for instruction/activity can be required throughout the class period including the middle of the course or staggered times based on activity/lesson plan.
        • Students are required to participate in the synchronous learning activities.

        Assessment and Grading:
        • Teachers will update grades in IC weekly.
        • Participation grades may or may not be part of the grading expectation.
        • Testing expectations/platforms are dept/teacher determined and communicated with students in advance. (In class only, hybrid, all online, etc.)

        Classroom Management and Other Considerations:
        • Teachers will communicate the camera expectation - when are students required to have it one and when are they not.
        • Students will follow expectations for appropriate on-screen as well as in-person behavior including the use of the mute feature and actively participating in the course.
        • Same code of conduct expectations for in-person and distance learning students.  
        • Students need to communicate with teachers for support: Use a professional tone when reaching out to teachers or staff.  Sample email templates can be found here and here. 
        • Students are encouraged to advocate early when issues arise.
