MVCSD Secondary Remote Learning Procedures and Expectations

1. Lesson Availability:

   • Lessons for all core subjects and electives/unified arts will be posted on Google Classroom by 8:00 AM on the designated remote learning day.

2. Assignment Completion:

   • Students are expected to complete and submit their assignments within two school days upon returning from the calamity day.

3. Teacher Availability and Assistance:

   • Teachers will monitor email and previously established communication platforms (e.g., Remind) between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM (teachers will be unavailable from 12:00-1:00) to assist with any questions or concerns related to the assigned remote lessons.
   • Students can also receive support and ask questions about the assignments upon returning to school after the calamity day

To ensure a safe and efficient drop-off process, please follow these procedures:

• All drop-off traffic must remain in the right-hand lane of the outer loop.
• Pull forward as much as possible before dropping off.
• Do not use the left lane to bypass traffic and cut in front of others in the right lane. This disrupts the flow and causes delays.
• Do not drop students off in the parking lot (inner loop). Students should not cross in front of traffic for safety reasons.
• The crosswalk through the outer loop should only be used by those parking and entering the office.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and traffic moving smoothly!

End-of-Course (EOC) testing will take place on the following dates:
