REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDANCE

Regardless of taking classes in person or online, attendance matters. Showing up to class and engaging in the material helps students stay on track, learn, and reach their goals.

There are two attendance requirements that students need to complete every school day (Monday-Friday):

  • 1: Students must log into the online learning platform Edge and complete 50 minutes of classwork per class. For example:
    • Taking 1 online class = 50 minutes of classwork on Edge.
    • Taking 2 online classes = 50 minutes of classwork on Edge per class (total of an 1 hour and 40 minutes of classwork).
    • Taking 6 online classes = 50 minutes of classwork on Edge per class (total of 5 hours of classwork).​​​​​​
       
  • 2: Students must also complete one of the following:
    • Attend daily advsory and complete code word.
    • Check in with a teacher either through email, meeting, call, etc.
    • Complete the daily attendance form. Found in Essential Links

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

If your student is absent, you will receive an attendance phone call to inform you of their absence. However, due to the nature of our attendance system, attendance phone calls will inform you of an absence for the previous school day – not the current day. 

If your student was absent on a Friday, you will get an attendance call informing you that following Monday informing you of your student’s Friday absence.

We know that this can be confusing, but if you need any further help understanding our Attendance Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.

 

NEED TO EXCUSE YOUR STUDENT?

If your student needs to be excused, an adult caregiver must call the attendance office.

In Person Attendance

All CVA students will be required to report to a CSD building occasionally to meet CVA, Centennial School District, or State of Oregon requirements.

Bus passes will be available, if needed, please inquire with your Advisor teacher.

Reasons for In-Person attendance include but are not limited to:

  • Meet in person with CVA Advisor, Counselor, other staff
  • Take in-person assessments to monitor academic progress (ex. Reading, Math, Finals or other Summative Assessments).
  • Complete state assessments
  • Demonstrate Proficiency on prior knowledge (exam), or in order to advance a student's curriculum/pacing.
  • Academic Integrity (ex. in response to plagiarism): Show your work under the supervision of CVA staff.
  • Graduation planning or forecasting for classes.
  • Opportunities to take national exams, attend field trips, other school events.

At CVA, we are excited that we can offer so much academic access and flexibility in a virtual learning environment.  We also believe that intermittent in-person schoolwork is a reasonable and necessary component of our program.

Please reach out to your Advisor to discuss any alternatives to the above, which will require staff and or administrative exception.  Lastly, it is important to note that the above is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to update and/or remind you of some of the important critical components.
