The school nurse initiates quarantine and emails the principal, the administrator in charge of PEIMS and the PEIMS specialist. The administrator will enroll the quarantined student into Proximity.

After the campus facilitator adds a student to the designated courses in Proximity, the student will receive an email to set-up their account. The student username will be their full SISD email. Students will be able to set their own unique password.

For elementary and middle school students, the campus facilitator will need to enroll students into all applicable courses.

For high school students, students will continue to use Schoology to receive their teacher-provided assignments.

Classroom teachers will mark students who are quarantined Absent.

Attendance will be generated based on whether the student is virtually “present” at the official attendance-taking time. The teacher must see the student’s face on the camera at these times.

• Elementary PK - 5^th: 10:00 AM
• Middle School – 9:45 AM
• High School - 10:00 AM

Students who have an elective course in their regular schedule during the attendance window (9:45 for MS and 10:00 for HS) will be coded RC.

All other electives courses will be coded Q by the PEIMS Specialist. If a student is present during the attendance window, they will be coded RC  by the PEIMS Specialist for all core content classes that day.

Support will be provided to students on campus Schoology assignments and will be turned in directly to the regular classroom teacher.

For special education students who will be receiving Remote Conferencing instruction, an ARD Amendment must be sent home to propose the change in delivery of instruction and amount of services. Campus staff should contact parents ahead of the sending of the ARD Amendment to discuss the changes. The ARD Amendment must be agreed to by the parent before any changes are actually implemented.

If a parent disagrees with the ARD Amendment or requests an ARDC meeting, a meeting will be promptly scheduled and convened.

For students who receive related services, service providers must make up any missed service time upon a student’s return to in-person instruction. The missed services time and make up time must be documented to show compliance with the IEP related services provision.

Once an ARD Amendment is agreed upon and signed, the modification/accommodations may be uploaded by the campus facilitator to the private folder shared by Proximity.

Proximity Learning teachers will record grades in the Canvas learning management system in accordance with SISD’s grading policy.

• PK-8^th Grade: Admin will run a report from Canvas and share with the classroom teacher each Friday so grades can be input into Tyler.
• 9^th-12^th Grade: Students will turn in teacher-provided assignments through Schoology.

In the event that a student is in Remote Conferencing during 3, 6, or 9 week testing, the student will be excused from testing and will make-up testing in-person upon the student’s return to school.

Upon a student’s return to campus, normal campus attendance procedures will resume. The campus administrator/facilitator will download all attendance and grades for that student BEFORE unenrolling that student from Proximity.

Yes, the campus will inform parents and students of Proximity Remote Conferencing for eligible students. Parents and students may be provided with the Remote Conferencing Parent Information Sheet provided by SISD Academics Department.
