Counselor's Corner
Attendance Matters! Attend Every Class, Every Day, On Time! Call 531-299-2389 if your student will be absent.
The 2020-21 school year is in full swing and we are excited to be connecting with our wildcats! While we are enjoying seeing our students virtually, we can't wait to be learning in-person again!
Regular school attendance is crucial to the development and education of students, even during remote learning. Daily engagement will ensure students are on track and prepared, especially as we look toward a return to in-person learning when it is possible. We expect all of our students to arrive on time every day to every class. Do you know the class schedule? See the photo below to better understand how to read a student schedule.
Attendance is being taken in every class, every day, for all students. If your student will be absent, even for remote learning, please contact the school's attendance secretary before 7:40 a.m. by calling 531-299-2389. If you leave a voicemail, please include your student's name and the reason for the absence. We appreciate your partnership and support and look forward to learning together in person soon.

iPad Connectivity Issue?
- Turn on airplane mode, wait 10 seconds and then turn airplane mode off.
- Be sure you have any unused browser windows closed; the iPads do not run as smoothly when there are several browser windows opened.
How to Use the Dock on Your iPad

- Connect to home wifi (sometimes gets disconnected - go to settings and look for WiFi on the left hand side)
- Once connected, log in with student email address or 's' account followed by '@ops.org'
- If it is still not working, then type '.\' in the user name box, and email the information circled in the picture along with the number off the back of your computer to our building technician at ksc-ts@ops.org.

TIPS
Participation in class is IMPORTANT. Please unmute and show your picture when you are asked to respond. If you don't want to show your picture type a response in the chat or just talk without your picture showing. Your teachers need to know you are actively engaged in class.
Office Hours: Join your teacher's office hours (remember it is a different team than the actual class) to get help, get questions answered, chat with your teachers. All teachers host office hours from 10:45 - 11:30 and 2:45 - 3:05.
