ALP Student Expectations

Hello Patriot Families,

Thank you for your feedback and patience as we progressed through our first quarter of learning at CDS. Both our faculty and our students have done an excellent job adapting to the changes and challenges of this new learning model. We are glad that we are able to offer the flexibility of a program such as the ALP. As we continue to offer the ALP in the second quarter, we would like to remind everyone of some basic expectations moving forward with our program.

Zoom Classes

Students should check Schoology course pages daily for posts with information and a Zoom link. The expectation is that they are logged on and are available during each class.
Students should log into the Zoom a few minutes before class to ensure they get into the meeting when the class begins.
Students are required to wear their uniform top and be sitting at a desk or table to create an appropriate learning environment. The use of headphones is also recommended.
Students are required to have their video on. Students will be allowed to participate in class activities without their video only at the discretion of the teacher.

Other Zoom Sessions

Students will Zoom into advisory; teachers will update the Advisory Schoology page with the weekly schedule.
Students will Zoom into clubs/societies if feasible.
Students will have regular meetings with their learning coach

Additional Considerations

ALP is intended to provide your student with a learning environment that meets your family's needs during this global pandemic. If your student is struggling academically while enrolled in ALP, please consider a return to either partial or full on campus learning.

Adhering to these expectations allows for us to continue to provide not only a safe environment, but also a learning environment that is equitable to those on and off campus. If you are interested in making a change to your student's ALP status, please click on the link below.
