Face-to-Face Attendance Requests
Similarly, if you are the parent of a face-to-face student and would like to change to virtual learning. Please let me know. We can make that change immediately without any need to wait.
Attendance Notifications
Each of our calendar days is equivalent to a day on the CCSD calendar. You can find a list of dates 2020-21 on this crosswalk document. For example, our first day of school was August 18, 2020, but the district's first day of school was September 8, 2020, so the attendance that we recorded on August 18 will be reflected in PowerSchool on September 8. Friday, November 13, 2020, is our 59th day of school and will be recorded in PowerSchool as December 4, 2020.
IMPORTANT: eLEARNING DAYS ADDED TO THE CALENDAR
The Board voted to adjust the CCSD calendar to make April 30, and May 17 e-Learning days at home for all students.
Students will not report to campus on these days. All high school classes will be assigned asynchronous work to document attendance. Students enrolled in TTC classes SHOULD still tune into their TTC classes if the class has a synchronous meeting time on any of those days.
