In order to be marked present for school, the child must be in the building. Unlike the past 18 months, contact with the teacher is not considered proof of attendance. When your child is absent for any reason, that day's lessons will be posted on the teacher's google classroom. Further, all West teachers will have their zoom links on so that the absent student can hear the class. The teacher will not be teaching concurrently -- the zoom is on as a courtesy for the absent child. We assume that all students who access this video will be absent and they will be marked so (to eliminate any confusion about the issue of being present in the building to be marked present, change from last year).
To summarize, the assignment and information will be on Google classroom, and the absent student may listen to the class if they desire. They are, of course, assumed absent if they do so.
