Update: To be marked present you must complete at least one of the following
  • 2 way communication with teacher via Zoom, email, or phone on 9/30/22
  • Complete 9/30 assignment posted on Canvas by 10/3
All this info was also sent out by me via Canvas Announcements and by school via robo-calls home. If you didn't receive either of those things check to make sure your info is up-to-date with the school. Make sure you are checking canvas next time we have a remote learning day ;-)
