School closure reference

You do not need to do anything other than log on to  Schoology each day prior to 1:00pm. There is no attendance for periods anymore. We use the log records that show who logs in when to generate "present." If you are sick or unable to log in due to being actually absent, it would be great to have your parents call the main office as they would have before.  

Teachers can also access log records to see when you last interacted with their course materials. So while there is no daily class period attendance, a teacher may contact you if they see that you have not gone into their course recently.

All homework assignments and required materials must be published by 11am daily.  All assignments must be posted using the Assignment Module in Schoology. Posting any other way, including an event, a Google doc, Schoology, email, or any other manner is not acceptable.

Assignments should not exceed 2 hours of work per week for course. Courses are required to post a minimum of one assignment and a maximum of three assignments per week to total two hours of work per week. 

Assignments are have a minimum due date of 24 hours for short assignments and a maximum due date of 1 week.

All instruction/assignments must be compatible with a Chromebook. 

If you need a Chromebook or are having difficulty with your device, please contact help desk at helpdesk@hanovernorwichschools.org

 

Synchronous instruction refers to any instruction that takes place during a specific window of time.  Synchronous assignments include webinars (aka Google Meetings, Zoom), real time discussions, Skype, & chat windows.

Teachers are excited to "see" you, however, at this time, synchronous instruction can NOT be required. 

For a variety of reasons, it is not possible for all students to join "live" or synchronous class meetings. The SAU also has prohibited any recording or sharing of  any web events that contains students present (video, chat, or audio). For these reasons, no synchronous instruction can be required by teachers. 
 

Teachers can have times they are available on a video platform to answer questions. Teachers can also give the option for students to "meet" with them for an assignment as long as there is an alternative non-video assessment available to students. 

There is no "HHS daily Schedule" but we highly recommend that you make yourself a daily schedule and have a routine. Use your Schoology calendar or other planner to keep track of deadlines and to plan out your academic time. Be sure to talk to your family about their schedules--your parents and/or siblings may also be trying to work from home. Having your dance party during their Zoom meeting isn't going to work. Schedule time to be off your screen and for self-care. Below is a possible schedule that may work for you.
