Zoom Info & Lessons

Welcome Tuba City JR High Families

I hope that you and your family are well.  Please read updates for TCJHS students:

Schoology-

Instruction will be via Zoom.  We noticed a decrease in attendance when instruction moved to Live Conferences within Schoology. Your child should be attending Zoom Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and follow their class schedule to attend classes.  The teachers are providing direct instruction.  Your child should use the class time to complete the work.  Teachers are available for the remainder of the class time on Zoom. Some teachers have provided their personal cell numbers as a means of contact. 

The Virtual Learning Schedule begins at 8:30 am and ends at 2:35 pm.  Students should continue to check in for attendance with the Advisory teacher daily.  It is important for students to be online during their scheduled class time so that they are not missing out on instruction. Your child benefits the most by being on Zoom for classes.  Wednesdays have become asynchronous days where your child is on Schoology for the purpose of catching up or doing enrichment.  Teachers will communicate this to you.  We want to be considerate of data usage for all we hope the asynchronous day helps. 

Work Packets-

Your child will continue to receive work packets in the mail.  The work packets include assignments in which teachers will provide instruction via Zoom. The work packets need to be returned so that your child can receive a grade for completion of the work.  We encourage you to use the same envelope and to ensure your child has their name on their assignments.  All work packets will be mailed out-we no longer are allowed to have parents pick up packets.    

Edgenuity-

Students should be working on this self-paced course every day during their assigned class time. You can get the logon information from their respective teacher. If your child can not get on to Edgenuity the work packets can be completed. 

Thank you for entrusting TCJHS with your child’s education.   If you have questions, I can be reached at (928) 283-1040. Be safe. 

Educationally,

Dr. Melissa J. Bilagody, TCJHS Principal and TCJHS Staff

Attendance

 The following are ways that count towards student attendance:

• Individual electronic contact with the teacher (email, phone, text, etc.)
• Participation in synchronous learning activity (Zoom, Schoology, etc.)
• Submission of assignments
• Parent attestation of time spent on educational activities assigned by the school- younger grades

Attendance clerks will submit daily attendance into PowerSchool.  Students will be marked either absent or present.  

We have developed 3 new attendance codes during distance learning:  

• DLP  (Distant Learning Present)
• DLA  (Distant Learning Absent unexcused)
• DLX  (Distant Learning Absent excused)

*If your child is absent, please email/call the Data Clerk to be excused

Ways to return student work:

• Scan packet back to teacher
• Fax packet back to the school (928) 283-1260
• Take a photo of student work and email to teacher
• Drop completed work packet off at the front of TCJHS in drop box
• Call school and we can arrange pick up of packet
• Return packet to meal bus drop-off locations

* A One Call notification will be sent out for date of iPad distribution

Please ensure that TCJHS has your child’s update Immunization record
