Student Expectations

Part of growing up is developing and demonstrating responsibility. At CVP, we strive to help students develop this trait and believe that it is essential in a child’s development. In order to help students along this path and to preserve instruction time, the students are expected to:

  • Engage/participate in their daily Zoom lessons (ex: use of chat, use of video, mute/unmute feature, etc.)
  • Attend class every day through the use of their a fully-charged Colonial District Device and log on through Clever 
  • Maintain a designated work space with minimal distractions
  • Follow CSD Code of Conduct & Dress Code
  • Come prepared to class with all needed materials in their work space (materials needed is at the discretion of the teacher)

Technology

It is the student’s responsibility to maintain a charged computer for class everyday and is responsible for any damage. CVP will provide a computer and charger at the beginning of the school year.

Students will login into their computers and all needed programs with their Student IDs. Students know this number as their “lunch number.” If your student forgets their lunch number or is new to the Colonial School District, please reach out to your child’s teacher for this information. Make sure to write it down and keep it in a safe place because your child’s ID number is used for most of their programs. Student passwords are always their birthday. It is written in the format MMDDYYYY. For example, if your child’s birthday is August 6th, 2011, their password would be 08062011. 

If there is an issue with a computer or charger, it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to submit a technology ticket in a timely-manner.  If a student will be absent due to an issue with a district device, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify the school by submitting an Electronic Absent Note form. Please note, absences will not be excused if a technology ticket is not submitted in a timely manner. Once a technology ticket is submitted, a representative from the technology department will contact the parent/guardian to resolve the issue. If a new device is needed, the technology department will schedule a time with the parent/guardian to pick-up a new device from the Technology Office. (list Address and phone number if they have one)

If a student needs WIFI parents/guardians can visit our Resources page for information. 

In the event a teacher will be absent, the teacher will communicate this information with families and assign asynchronous work for the day.  It is the student’s responsibility to complete the given assignments prior to the assigned due date or following school day. Please note, a student may receive an  unexcused absence or early dismissal if the given assignment is not completed or partially completed. *Add information from Tom Gavin*
