Safety
· 4 Basic Principles of Security in Garland ISD:
1) Positively engage all visitors at the campus: If someone is on the campus or in the school without a Raptor Visitor Badge or District ID, that person should be engaged by staff and escorted to the office for proper registration to the campus.
2) Sound the alarm: If something is seen or heard or discovered to be a risk to the safety of students, staff, and visitors to the campus, whoever discovers it should immediately tell someone in authority (any and all staff members are empowered to call 9-1-1 in a life-safety situation).
3) Teach with classroom doors closed and locked: Experience has shown that the risk of violence is mitigated by classroom doors remaining closed and locked.
Covering the classroom door window has been discussed with our police agencies. Each police agency is now in agreement that all classroom door windows should be covered at all times. Reasoning: If there is a lockdown situation in your school, you should not attempt to cover that window; “Locks, Lights, Out of Sight”
4) Respond to the greater threat: Always respond to that threat which is imminent (for example, if in lockdown and the fire alarm sounds, do not respond to the fire alarm unless the threat from the fire is greater than the reason for the lockdown).
Emergency Drills
What: Fire Drill and Hold in Place Drill
When: Thursday, September 17th, during 8th period
Who: All F2F and Remote students
How: Following social distancing protocols for F2F students. Fire drill protocol for remote students: The teacher will ask the remote students to turn off their camera and their mic.The teacher will return to the class after the fire drill and debrief with both sets of students.

Attendance Update
Teachers are now able to see a new attendance code "F2F Present" in Skyward when they take attendance. The goal of the update is to assist campuses in better accounting for students who are present for Face to Face instruction, simplify reporting, and increase the accuracy of student coding.
Students who are present for Face to Face instruction must be marked ‘F2F-Present’. Teacher must begin using the code by September 16.
Teachers must mark a code for every student, every day. (Present F2F, Present Synchronous, Present Asynchronous, or Absent.)
Teachers must choose the type of instruction that the student received on the attendance date. This may vary from day to day or week to week.
The regular, default Present will not disappear from teacher options (unfortunately) but must not be used. (Choose presence by type of instruction or absent)
Here are some updated documents to aide in explaining the update:
Updated Teacher Attendance Taking Instructions for Skyward Secondary Attendance Requirements Update
Student Progress for Asynchronous
Student Progress | Progress will vary based on individual student needs, teacher interactions, and engagement. Progress is not defined by the number of assignments. A specific number of active minutes or mastery of a skill is not required for attendance purposes. |
Ways to Confirm Progress | Canvas Google Classroom Approved District learning sites Paper/pencil Text of assignments Verbal confirmation of learning |
