General Attendance Procedures
-
- Each school day counts as a day of instruction, including Mondays for asynchronous learning and accessing supports and activities without live learning. Students are expected to be engaged in learning every school day.
- Teachers should take attendance at the time of their class period. Members of the school staff will be reaching out to students daily about engagement in school, so accurate, timely attendance is critical to those support efforts. We want to make sure every student is supported to be successful during Enhanced E-Learning.
- Teachers will take attendance in TAC for the days of the week their classes meet based on the live learning schedule.
- Tuesdays & Thursdays for periods 1-5
- Wednesdays & Fridays for periods 0, 6-9
- Teachers will not take attendance for Mondays.
- When taking attendance, teachers will see that the default attendance in TAC is present. Teachers will actively mark students absent or tardy.
- Teachers can use the attendance views and reports in TAC to see attendance trends.
- Teachers can correct attendance errors or update attendance within 2 days, consistent with the language in the faculty handbook.
