The Henning Staff have the following expectation during online learning for basic online etiquette and for full attendance, participation and credit being awarded:
1. Parents should address items with teachers during our scheduled
break times, not during class time (with no other students present).
2. The student must be logged in to their Google Meet class session individually and on time.
3. The student's entire face must be visible in live video (NO AVATAR) for recognition and participation/engagement.
4. The student must be present the entire class period.
5. The student must be focused on class content and not be engaged in other activities that are a nuisance to their learning.
6. The student must be dressed appropriately (their attire should not be a distraction to other students or staff).
7. Students should be muted when they are not asking a question or until they are called upon.
8. The student must be aware of their background and environment. The students background and environment must not be a distraction to their learning or the learning of others (Students can use the "Background Blur Option" feature in Google Meets to assist with this matter).
*Attendance & Participation rules apply to all learners during all of our Learning Models. If a student is absent, their participation in practice and games can be impacted.
*If a student is not attending class, parents are expected to call
the office to excuse an absence prior to the absence occurring. Unexcused absences can result in missed opportunities and a possible grade reduction.  Attendance Policy regarding excused and unexcused remains the same in all learning models - these procedures can be found in the student handbook.
*If a student is experiencing technical difficulties, the student or parent should call the school immediately to communicate problems and inquire about possible solutions.
