Dear Spartans 

Please take a few minutes and read the important news and notes.

• Remote Learning CONTINUES:  SHS will continue with remote learning for all students through December 4th.  In-person students will continue with the Remote Learning Daily Time Schedule that they were following last week. (see attached) and Livonia Virtual students will continue with the Livonia Virtual Daily Time Schedule (see attached).
• Remote Learning Schedule.pdf 
  
  
• Daily Time Schedule (LV) - High School.pdf 
  
  
• Attendance and participation:  During synchronous learning times, attendance is mandatory.  Students must remain online with their class/teacher for the entire class session.  Checking in with the teacher at the beginning of class then not being present for the remainder of the class session is not allowed. Teachers are monitoring student attendance and reporting to administration those students who are consistently skipping class after attendance is taken.  If you have an extenuating circumstance, please contact your teacher.
  
  
• Cameras ON:  It is strongly recommended that students have cameras ON during synchronous learning times.  This drastically improves teacher-student interaction, collaboration, and learning.  Parents, please remind your child(ren) to have cameras on and focused on them during class sessions. Virtual meeting platforms offer appropriate backgrounds or blurred backgrounds if a student is uncomfortable with his/her learning space being on camera.. Again, "cameras on" is an incredibly important step in building the relationship between the teacher and student; as well as, improving the learning and instruction.  If you are unable to have your camera on, then ask to have a private conversation with your teacher.  Otherwise, create an appropriate space that allows for your camera to be on.    
• 
  Parent-Teacher Conferences:  Parent-teacher conferences are Wednesday, November 18th (5:00-8:00 pm) and Thursday, November 19th (12:00-3:00 pm).  Please visit our SHS Communication Corner for more details on how to sign up for conferences. With our plan for virtual conferences, the number of time slots will be limited and you may not be able to schedule every teacher. Conferences are primarily intended for parents of students who are struggling in their classes. If your child is doing well in a class, please consider leaving a time slot open for a parent of a student who may be struggling.. This would be much appreciated. The deadline to sign up for conferences using the PTCFast link is Tuesday, November 17th - 9:00 pm.
  
  
• Half-Days Schedule:  Parent-teacher conference days are a half-day of instruction for all students (LV & F2F).  Both groups will follow the special remote learning (synchronous) half-day schedule on Wednesday, November 18, and Thursday, November 19.

SHS Community,

First Marking Period grades are now available for viewing on Parent/Student Connect.

Thank you for your patience.

Parents may begin scheduling conferences at 8:00 AM on Friday, November 13, 2020. The site will remain open until 9:00 PM on Tuesday, November 17, 2020.  Because there are a limited number of conference times available during each day, sign-ups will be a first-come, first-served event.
