McNicholas High School will continue promote high levels of learning through remote learning. The overarching principle is care for students in light of the realities of the pandemic. Quality McNicholas education will continue through methods and media appropriate for our sudden new realities.
Students will not meet in class groups. Unpredictable home schedules for students and faculty make scheduled online class meetings impractical. Scheduled online faculty office hours will be the medium for real-time online meetings between teachers and students to review topics and answer questions. Microsoft Teams will be the online tool for faculty office hours. Students have access to Teams with their McNick email and password. Students have a webcam on their tablet to do a video call.
What should my student work on each day?
Teachers will post lesson plans for the week in Schoology on Sunday, as they typically do.
How will my student be graded?
Teachers will post grades to the PlusPortal, as they typically do. Assignments and assessments may look different than they do in a face-to-face class. Students use Schoology and OneNote for digital work.
How do I check in on my student?
You have access to Schoology to check lesson plans. You have access to PlusPortal to check grades and attendance.
Will the school monitor what my student is doing?
While your student is at home, we do not have the ability to monitor what programs and sites they use. Please address your expectations with your student about their device use.
Do you have any tips for me to help my student?
Make sure your student is using the Chrome web browser. It works best with many of our programs.
When in doubt, have your student restart their computer.
What if we have tech issues?
Please reach out to our tech department.
