Attendance With Remote Learning

Attendance still counts with remote learning. Thus, students in most schools are expected to log-on and complete daily assignments. Most students can expect to be without traditional instruction for months.

Too, the remote lessons incorporate check-in forms, morning notes, a question for the day, daily or weekly video chats, phone calls, and exit tickets that indicate a student’s daily participation. This interaction helps teachers to track students and let them know the level of engagement.
