Attendance Procedures

Hi, everyone. We will soon be implementing a new attendance procedure for our remote learners. This will mainly affect our 5th - 12th grade students as our K-4 students meet daily with their teachers in virtual class meetings. K-4 teachers will be responsible for documenting attendance in SchoolTool. 

On Friday, September 18th, parents and students in grades 5-12 should be on the lookout for an email delivered to students' school Gmail addresses from Operoo/CareMonkey prompting students to create an Operoo/CareMonkey account. This account will be used for attendance-taking purposes for our remote students as well the hybrid students on the days they are not in the buildings. This new attendance procedure will take place starting Monday, September 21st. 

Here are the parameters specific to 100% Remote Students:

100% Remote Students:

• Will receive a survey M-F
• The survey will be emailed to them at 7 AM
• The survey will close at 10 AM
• Students must complete the survey to confirm their daily attendance
• If students do NOT complete the survey by 10 AM, they will be marked absent.
• Teachers do not need to take attendance in SchoolTool for students that are remote (not physically sitting in front of them). However, teachers may take attendance nonetheless for their files to have a record of students attending their classes.

Operoo

When students receive the initial email from Operoo/Care Monkey, they will be prompted to create an account. After the account is created, students  will receive a survey that asks them the following:

1. I am working on school work from home today. 
• Yes or No
2. I attend school in-person on (Check all that apply) 
• Monday
• Tuesday
• Thursday
• Friday
• None (100% Remote)

Once the survey has been submitted successfully, students will receive a confirmation email from Operoo/CareMonkey.
