Planning Your DayYour first priority is to make sure you attend your live Class Connects. Remember that these are live classes, so you should be arriving on time and staying until students are dismissed. Attendance calls will be made if you are not in class, and too many unexcused absences can lead to interventions, truancy, or court proceedings.
Outside of attending Class Connects, the next priority is completing your homework. Completing your lessons on-time will earn you grades, which will then earn you credit for the classes you are taking. This is an important piece of your school day, and should require a good amount of time. You have the ability to log into your Online School any time, any day, so you have plenty of time to complete your work! |
Completing your assignments on-time will be extremely important here at ISMN. If you do not turn in an assignment, it will become a "0" in your "Grades" tab, lowering your grade.
Of course, we know that sometimes things happen. Teachers may allow you to work on 0s; however, please know that it is their decision to allow that. |
Even as an online student, it is essential to attend regularly every day. As an Insight School of Minnesota student, you get attendance through attending live Class Connects and completing homework Monday-Friday. Don't worry, you still get bragging rights ...who else can attend class in their PJs? |
To be considered in full attendance, you should be logged in for a total of 6 hours each day, Monday - Friday, attending Class Connects and completing homework.
Your Class Connect schedule is always visible from your "My Schedule" tab, under "Events". You can filter for a "Day" or "Week" view - whichever works best for you! If you have to miss a class, make sure that your parent excuses you by emailing [email protected]. |
