Lancer Update -Keeping You Informed September 28,2020

How to Tell If there is a Substitute When a teacher is absent, a substitute is not able to connect with the remote learners. Therefore all staff who need a substitute have been asked to post a message and directions for the students for that day. If there is a substitute teacher, students should find an announcement in their posts in that specific class/team they are on in the teams app. It should look something like this example supplied by Mrs. Johnson - notice this is under POSTS.

PleaseHelpOutwiththeseReminders: Pleasemakesureyourson/daughter issymptom-freebeforereturningtoschoolafter theyhave felt sick We need everyone to make sure your iPad settings are on LIGHT mode appearance. To check that you have the correct setting selected, please now go to your SETTINGS app on the home screen

of your iPads. Next, select "DISPLAY & BRIGHTNESS". The appearance that should be checked here is LIGHT. If yours is on DARK, you need to change it now. We are experiencing many problems with student iPads on DARK mode, so it is an expectation that your iPads stay on LIGHT mode. Please be aware that if your son/daughter does his/her work on DARK mode - they will not be able to send it to the teacher to view - therefore the work done will be lost. Students should be coming to school on the days are assigned - yellow-group 1 or purple-group 2 If your child is a fully remote learner and missing class due to illness, we still need you to call the attendance office. 339-1407 is the correct number for the AttendanceOffice When at home for fully remote learning or hybrid remote learning, students will not be invited to SAS. This is their time to have study hall at home and do work. They do not need to report to SAS for attendance. Teachers are inviting students to classes, but we did find a glitch in TEAMS which randomly blocks the invite. We are working on fixing this issue. If your child is unable to click on an invite to a class, please call 339-1436, and we will notify the teacher to resend that invite. We apologize for this issue and hope to have it settled shortly. It is important to review the process if your son/daughter should get sick in school and demonstrateoneof theCOVID-19symptoms.Tobemorespecific, ifyourchildhasa temperature of 100 degreesor aboveOR demonstrates fever, chills, shortnessof breath, sore throat, lossof taste/smell, headache, cough, nasal congestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, muscle or bodyaches.
