Tuesday, September 8th
Virtual instructional day begins at 9:25am.
Students should be logged in with their class no later than 9:15am.
Attendance
In Virginia, public school students ages 5-18 are required to attend school regularly. Teachers will take attendance during learning sessions and ensure that all students are counted. Parents can assist with this process by:
- Ensuring students log in to classes on time and throughout the day.
- Calling or emailing the school attendance line if students are unable to participate.
- Communicating any concerns to the school, such as difficulty logging in or accessing classes.
- Reporting any hardship, such as student illness, or concern that might prevent the student from participating regularly.
- Returning phone calls or emails when notified that students did not participate that day.
- Ensuring that students submit activity logs as directed.
If your child is unable to log in to online instruction with a teacher, the teacher will be recording the class and posting the video within Blackboard or Google Classroom, so it can be viewed later. Videos can also be viewed multiple times to help students retain new information, as needed.
We understand that not every student will be able to participate in online instruction at the scheduled time. Our schools will be flexible in recording attendance and absences. We do not want to punish a student for missing an online class due to the extenuating circumstances of virtual learning. We want to partner with our families to ensure the success of each child.
Instructional Resource Supplies
Our math specialist, reading specialist, classroom teachers, and instructional assistants created math and reading instructional resources for all GBE students. On Monday, we had families drive through our curbside pickup to receive these instructional resources. If you were not able to pickup these instructional resources this past Monday, please stop by the front office tomorrow, Thursday, September 3 between 9:00am-4:00pm.
