  • Seniors, please check your inbox for an email that was recently sent out by Mr. DeBruyn concerning details for graduation.

REPEATED ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Reminder: Be sure to take short breaks and get away from your computer/phone screens. Be active, stretch, grab a snack, go outside for a bit, etc. Stay strong both mentally and physically.

  • Questions: (1) Will distance learning continue until the end of the school year and, if so, (2) when should my student pick up the rest of his or her belongings?

    Answer(s):

    (1) Spectrum will follow guidance provided by the Governor and  Commissioner of Education regarding distance learning.

    (2) In keeping with the current "stay-at-home" executive order from the Governor (through May 18), Spectrum has very limited staff on site at random times during the school week. If a student needs items in order to successfully complete school work for distance learning, they should contact David Steinhauser, Facilities Manager, at dsteinhauser@spectrumhighschool.org to coordinate a pick up.

  • Thank you for working with us to make sure distance learning is successful! If you haven’t already done so, please watch the student expectations video here.

  • Please see information on cancelled or modified spring school events on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of Spectrum’s new Updates page here.

  • 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.
