Online Students Attendance Policy

Schoology Login Requirements

Each online student will be required to log in to Schoology daily to track their attendance, except in the case of illness or an emergency (NRS 392.040).

We understand that during these unprecedented times, parent schedules and traditional school hours may not complement each other. Students may log in to Schoology any time between the hours of 12 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. to complete their schoolwork each day. We do ask that your student at least logs in once a day for attendance purposes.

 

Required Instructional Time

While online students will still be expected to login daily, Monday through Friday, to be considered present for attendance purposes, they may complete the hourly requirement and their weekly work between Monday and Sunday each week.

In order to help the school track attendance and report it properly to the state, students will be assigned weekly schoolwork each Friday for the following week. The work is designed to meet the required hours from the state. The work is to be completed independently.

  • Teachers will post the weekly materials for their course by 12:00 a.m. the Saturday prior to the start of that week.
  • Teachers will be available during their regularly scheduled contracted time, 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., to answer questions from students or parents. Within one school day, teachers will respond to any student or parent correspondence that takes place outside of working hours.

 

Reporting Online Student Absences

In the event that a student does not log in to Schoology, we ask that the parent or guardian call and leave a message providing the reason for the absence (non log in) on the school attendance voicemail or email account by 3 p.m. in order for an absence to be “excused.” Please note that an email to the classroom teacher will not suffice.

Important information regarding attendance:

  • Students who log in between 3 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. will be considered present and their unexcused absence will be adjusted at the end of the week.
  • Parents may call the front office for assistance if students are unable to log in to Schoology before 3 p.m.
  • Attendance is updated the following instructional day after teachers have reviewed all logins from the previous instructional day.
  • Attendance calls are sent each Wednesday for the previous week. You have until 4 p.m. on Friday to contact the attendance office to excuse your student’s attendance. If you don’t your child(ren) will be marked as an “unexcused absence”.
  • Our attendance email and voicemail take messages 24 hours a day.
  • Parents are welcome to call late in the evening or very early in the morning.
