Welcome to the Junior High of Blessed Sacrament School!
While the 2020-2021 school year is starting unlike any other, we are looking forward to spending this year with your child. Please remember, this is a learning experience not only for your child, but also for you and your child's teachers. With updated technology in each classroom, we are preparing for a seamless transition from in-school learning to remote learning. We graciously ask for your patience and cooperation as we begin using new and innovative platforms to educate your child. However, our main mode of instruction will be Google Classroom, which you are all familiar with. Important information will continue to be posted on each class page on the Blessed Sacrament website.
Whether your child is in school learning or learning from home, all students are expected to follow the given schedule which will be provided by Friday afternoon. This means all children are responsible for work during the school day from 7:50am - 2:30pm. When children are learning in school, they must have their own supplies. For safety purposes, no one is allowed to share. It is imperative that if you are at home learning, you must log on at the beginning of each class. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each period. At that time, your video must be turned on.
The following expectations need to be adhered to while remote learning:
*Students must only use their Blessed Sacrament emails.
*All classwork and assessments will be completed and submitted during the class period. Homework
will be submitted before the next class.
*Homework policy: Everyone will start with a 100% and lose 5 points for every missing homework.
*There will be a one day grace period for any late assignment, but you will be penalized 5 points. Any
work submitted after that will result in a grade of 0.
*Zoom links are NOT to be shared with anyone.
*All students are expected to be sitting at a table or desk wearing their Blessed Sacrament uniform
during online instruction.
*The amount of time that each student is logged onto a Zoom call will be monitored and documented.
Therefore, please be sure to stay logged in throughout the day.
*If a teacher loses internet access or loses the Zoom connection for any reason, students must wait no more than two minutes before logging off. Students should not be on a Zoom call without a teacher in the session.
*Students are responsible for adhering to the behavior code outlined in the Blessed Sacrament
handbook.
*Students will have a designated lunch period so we ask that students refrain from eating during
instructional time. Water bottles are acceptable.
*Students are not permitted to change their background on a Zoom call.
*Students must be prepared with all books and supplies before logging into each class.
*Cell phones are not allowed during online instruction.
*All students will be muted upon entering the Zoom session, but there will be an opportunity for
participation.
