Asynchronous Digital Learning Days

School closings can disrupt the instructional programs of Catholic High School. To help students remain on pace with their studies during extended absences, administration and teachers of CHS will implement Asynchronous Digital Learning Days (ADLD) in the event of a school closure. Read the full policy here.

• ADLD days are asynchronous. Students will NOT have to join Google Meets for live instruction. 

• Any ADLD classwork will be posted on Google Classroom by 9:00 a.m. the day of the cancellation.

• Students will only have ADLD work for the classes that they were scheduled to visit that day (i.e Green or Gold). 

• Each ADLD assignment will be designed to take the average amount of classwork/homework time to complete, aligned with the level of the class

  • On Level - 30 Minutes

  • Honors - 45 Minutes

  • AP - 1 Hour

• The type of ADLD classwork will vary by teacher.  Class work is designed to ensure that student learning stays on track with the course syllabus and/or course outline and replicates what the student would have learned in the physical classroom.

•  Catholic High School teachers will be available until 3:00 pm via email to answer student questions, if power and connectivity permit.

• All assignments will be due at 11:59 PM on the day assigned, or at a later date, as decided by the teacher. 

• If a home is without power and connectivity, the student must communicate with his/her teachers once the service is restored; students are still accountable for the assigned work per the makeup work policy outlined in each teacher’s syllabus.

• Students will be held accountable for completing these assignments on time and staying on track with their learning.

Attendance during an Asynchronous Digital Learning Days will be taken in each class,  if your child is too ill to attend online classes, please follow the usual Catholic High School procedures for reporting that your child is ill (attendance@chsvb.org). The school will call parents if students have unexcused absences during ADLD.
