SPECTRUM HIGH SCHOOL
-
How are athletics affected by distance learning?
-
All participation in MSHSL spring activities at all member schools is suspended.
-
Participation includes, but is not limited to, competitions, training, practices, scrimmages, and contests.
-
No decision regarding the cancellation of spring activities has been made at this time. Also, there is no need to request a spring sports refund at this time. The previous deadline to request refunds by April 10 has been extended indefinitely. Once we have a better understanding about the spring sports season; we will give each participant one week to make a decision about whether to continue in spring sports or request a refund.
- Spectrum is adding answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the school website here as things come up about distance learning. Questions that are important to students will also be added to the daily announcements:
Question: Do students have to login into every class in Schoology every day in order for their attendance to be counted?
Answer: No. We are functioning within an “asynchronous” distance learning format. This means we have shifted from a daily attendance recording system to a weekly attendance recording system. Attendance is being calculated based on the completion of three items within the total of your required weekly work:
1. Monday's Introductory Video,
2. Assignment submissions throughout the week
3. Weekly Check-in Form - We have stressed logging into Schoology on a daily basis in all of your courses to encourage you to stay connected and to manage your school work throughout the week. If you choose to complete all of your required work in one or two days, feel free to do so.
Question: Will there be any change to the way C@SH courses are being graded?
Answer: No. At this point, courses will continue to be grading on the standard grading scale as noted in the Spectrum handbook and the individual course syllabi. Of course, the situation is evolving as Spectrum continues working with our partner colleges to adapt, as needed. We will certainly keep students updated if the grading practices were to change at any point during the remainder of this school year.
