Student Attendance: Per RI Department of Education, student attendance will take place each day. Students are expected to attend online or distance learning during this extended period of time from physical school (8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Monday – Friday). This will happen in the following way:

Teachers will determine student attendance daily by one of the following, as determined by the individual teacher:

Using Dojo, Padlet, Google Classroom, Virtual meetings, Student email, etc.
Attendance will be recorded into Skyward Student Portal.
School secretaries, administrators, support staff may call students who have not logged in each day
After several (2) consecutive days of not being “present”, support staff and/or principal will reach out to families
In the event of all of the above attempts being unsuccessful, students will be referred to the truancy officer for support
