Student Responsibilities:

-Below are responsibilities for students who are enrolled in Canvas online classes and their ESs.

-Please be sure that your parents are aware of their student’s responsibilities and the support 

 that you will provide. If this is your first Canvas, attend a Canvas 

 training workshop. This helps answer technological questions and is really beneficial to new 

 users of Canvas.

-Log on to https://cwcs.instructure.com/login/canvas and sign up as a class member.

-Have a working headset and be prepared to use it.

-Each student comes prepared for class and is willing to participate and learn with correct

-Each student should print out their syllabus/pacing guide and refer to the Canvas homepage 

 each week in order to plan their schedules, and be aware in advance of the dates and times of   

 their class and assignments.

-Check Canvas (Weekly Outline) each week for announcements, assignments, and your grade 

 for accuracy. Immediately notify the instructor if a discrepancy is found.

-Attend the online class every week and be on time. Many instructors deduct points for 

 tardiness. If you must miss a session, please email the instructor prior to missing class for the 

 opportunity to earn full credit with make-up work. If you must miss class, it is your 

 responsibility to communicate with the instructor. For full credit, any class assignments must 

 be turned in within a week (7 days) of the absence. (See Late Work/Absences)

-Complete the assigned workbook pages, additional assignments, quizzes, midterm, and final by 

 the due date. Any assignment posted on Canvas, or sent via email MUST BE SAVED as a 

 document on their computer, or as a hard copy, until the end of the semester to avoid any 

 technical difficulties.

-Complete and submit all assignments, projects, essays, and quizzes on or before the due date.

 (Absences don’t extend any due dates already posted in the syllabus.)

-Homework assignments will be reviewed by your ES and reported quarterly to the instructor. It 

 may count as much as 20% of the final grade.

-Students will need to turn in assignments on time. On time is before class starts on the due   

 date. After the due date, the assignments will only be worth half credit. It will be the responsibility of both the ES and Student to email the instructor with the late assignments.  All assignments posted in the pacing guide are expected by the due date, even for excused absences.

-If you are unable to access Moodle please email me and CC your ES to communicate the circumstances.

-Follow the links to access and read the CW Code of Conduct Policy, Plagiarism & Truancy 

 policies.

ES Responsibilities

 prior to the 3rd class.

-Remind your parents/students: If this is their first Canvas experience, they must attend a 

 required Parent Canvas Training prior to the start of their student’s first course or watch the

 announcements, changes in class meeting dates or changes in due dates for students’ 

 assignments.

 cannot drop after this date without Instructor, Advisor, and Executive Director approval. If 

 student is removed from class prior to this date, then there will be no charge to the 

 instructional funds. Contact the instructor if a student is dropping the course, or having 

 difficulties understanding assignments or submitting homework, quizzes, tests, or essays online.

-Per school policy, students receiving D’s or F’s will be reported to the Waterford Office.

-At each learning record meeting, have your student log into Canvas and show his/her grades and missing assignments.

-Late work will be accepted for half-credit, unless otherwise noted.

 

Excused School-Related Absence

- If you are absent for a school-related function (Ex- SAT, CAASPP, Student Council, etc) or have 

 a sickness that can be verified by a parent or doctor, you must contact me via email prior to 

 class to excuse the absence. You will have one week to complete any missed in class 

 assignment for full credit, up to the posted deadline. Email a summary of class to receive full 

 attendance/participation credit.

 

Excused Personal Absence

- For other personal-related absences (vacation with no wifi, appointments, family event), 

 students will only receive full attendance credit with a summary PLUS a one page U.S. current 

 event (summary & opinion). Students who do not contact me to excuse their absence will 

 receive a 0 for that week’s attendance/participation grade.

 

Unexcused Absence- If the teacher has not been notified by the student or parent of an absence at least 24 hours prior to the time the class meets, the student's absence will be "unexcused". An unexcused absence may result in a truancy. Class Recording Summary Emails: Email me and cc your ES a 5-6 -sentence summary of the class. In the Subject line, type your name, history summary and date of class. This should be done within 48 hours of class to receive credit. Personal and Unexcused absences add on a current event.
