SJHS e-Learning Day

Good evening, Shark Family! This is Ryan Poston, principal of St. James High School, with an important announcement. Due to today’s storm, Horry County Schools will be holding an e-Learning Day tomorrow, Monday, December 18. Additionally, St. James High School will be cancelling all afterschool activities on Monday, December 18th.

I would like to take a moment to share some important information with you regarding our e-Learning schedule and expectations. St. James High School will operate on the schedule shown in the attached graphic. Students should log into Google Classroom and/or Schoology based on the schedule, attend Google Meet sessions, and complete each teachers’ assignments. All student assignments will be posted in either their Google Classroom or Schoology Account.

All students must complete either their digital work via Google Classroom and/or Schoology or paper copies of their assignments. Teachers will be available for students during scheduled office hours via email and in their digital classrooms. Any technical issues should be reported to your child’s teachers.

Completion of their class assignments or attendance for the live Google Meets will be used to document attendance for the day. Students who are unable to complete digital assignments due to power outages, lack of internet, PDL issues, or other extenuating circumstances will be given 5 days to complete assignments upon their return to school in order to be receive credit and be marked present.

Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we work to provide meaningful instruction for our St. James students. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for choosing to be a part of the St. James family! Stay safe, and as always, GO SHARKS!

St. James High School Google Meet Guidelines:

• Use headphones or earbuds if you have them available. This will help to cut down on distractions.

• Make sure that you are following the school dress code and that your background is school appropriate.

• Always use school appropriate language.

• Make sure that your microphone is muted when you join each session.

• Bring paper, pencils, and any other materials that you may need during the meeting.
