Dear Parents / Guardians, 

After a careful review of tomorrow's forecast and taking a careful look at the realities of the morning commute for our Blazers, we have decided that tomorrow, Thursday, February 3 will be a synchronous eLearning Day. 

"Synchronous eLearning" means that students will attend all four of their classes virtually. On their Google classrooms, teachers will post links and log-in instructions for all students. The bell schedule will be as follows: 

Synchronous eLearning Schedule 

Period 1: 8:15- 9:15

Period 2: 9:25- 10:25

LUNCH: 10:25 - 11:00

Period 4: 11:00- 12:00

Period 5: 12:10- 1:10

BREAK: 1:10 - 1:30

OFFICE HOURS: 1:30 - 3:00 

Attendance expectations 

Students will be expected to log on to all four of their classes tomorrow and be present (cameras and microphones on) for the entirety of each class period. All teachers will provide online instruction during each class period. 

In the event that your Blazer will be absent tomorrow, a Parent/Guardian must call the office (708) 771-8383 or email attendance@trinityhs.org before

8:15 a.m. explaining the reason for the absence. Parents/guardians may leave a

voicemail explaining the absence.

eLearning Classroom Expectations for Students  

Students will be expected to be present for a full day of learning by logging in at the beginning of each period for attendance and remaining present and active for the duration of the 60 minute class for synchronous learning (via video camera and microphones, which are required to both be on for the duration of class).

• If an eLearner is excessively late to class (more than 10 minutes), they will be charged an absence for the class. 
• If a student is not showing up as an eLearner with their sound and video on for the duration of the period, they will be marked absent for that period (if they miss more than ten minutes). 
• Students who are logged on to the Zoom / Google Meet platform but who are not visibly on camera and audibly on the microphone (a black screen or the camera is pointing to the ceiling or another part of the room), will not be counted as present.
• Any student charged an absence for a class will be charged a half-day absence, counting towards the 4 absence limit for Block 3.

Building Closed / Offices Closed 

Please note that the building will be closed tomorrow, and the front office will remain closed. 

Extracurricular Activities 

There will be no musical practice tomorrow. Coaches will reach out to student-athletes regarding the possibility of updating practice schedules.  

Looking ahead to Friday, February 4 

As of right now, it appears that we will be able to open our doors to our Blazers for in-person learning on Friday, February 4. 

Thank you for supporting our Blazers through these cold, winter days. 

Warmest of regards,

Amy Gallie 

Principal
