● Teachers will mark attendance on COOLSIS for every Zoom Lesson.● If a student has not been completing work assigned:
○ Teachers should first contact students and their parents to check in on them.
○ The method of contact may be:■ a phone call and logged into the communication log on CoolSIS, or■ via a CoolSIS message/email (this is the preferred method).
○ Teachers should set a new due date for the student and if the work set is still not completed without a valid reason, an appropriate COOLSIS incident can be issued.
