Dear Taft Families,
This is Principal Garcia-Rubio calling with our Sunday update.
SCHEDULE
Tomorrow, Monday, September 14, 2020, students will attend all three of their classes as we continue the second week of our online schedule. Students should expect to be with our Taft Teachers in a combination of live (synchronous) sessions and independent (asynchronous) sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. After lunch, students should work independently or asynchronously for an additional two hours each day. We are taking attendance for Periods 1, 2 and 3. We are currently on a quarter system and these classes will last 9 weeks. Students will receive a progress report the first week of October. This quarter will end on Friday, October 30, 2020. Periods 4, 5 and 6 will begin on Monday, November 2, 2020.
IT HELP
Please call our IT Hotline at 619-732-1400 for Chromebook exchanges or repair. Taft is not a designated exchange spot, but IT can help you with device repair or logging into Zoom.
ZOOM AUTHENTIC
In order to create secure classrooms, students must log into Zoom sessions with their own student sandi.net authenticated accounts. Students who log in with unauthenticated accounts will not be allowed to participate in the online Zoom sessions.
LIVE ZOOM HELP
We understand that it is difficult to communicate with our office as we are still closed. We will have live online Zoom sessions Monday through Friday from 8-11 a.m. during the month of September.
