Aloha Vikings This is your K-V-I-K-S Morning Bulletin.
My name is Jazz and here are your announcements for Thursday April 2nd, 2020.
The Hilo High School Athletics and Hilo Athletic Committee Steak-fry scheduled for April 19, 2020 has been suspended and will be re-scheduled at a later date. All purchased tickets will be honored when a new date is set and announced. Thank-you for your cooperation and support.
Today, we would like to answer some frequently asked questions that parents and students have been submitting through phone and [email protected].
These questions are regarding Hilo High School’s Electronic Distance Learning Method.
Hilo High School has determined that teachers will be available for instruction on Monday for EVEN periods and Tuesday for ODD periods. On these days, Teachers may either distribute assignments in advance and be available for questions, or hold teleconferencing per period with their students using either CISCO Webex or ZOOM. Parents, please be aware of the capabilities of these teleconferencing systems and monitor that these provisions are not being abused.
Question: Will teachers be sending electronic or enrichment assignments every day/week?
Answer: Teachers will send assignments at their own discretion.
Question: Will parents receive an email of the electronic assignments?
Answer: No. The system in place is between the individual student and teachers.
Question: How will students receive electronic assignments?
Answer: Students will be sent assignments directly through either email or Google Classroom through their @viking.k12.hi.us account.
Question: Will these assignments be graded?
Answer: According to the Hawaii State Department of Education, Work packets will not be graded, but many teachers are identifying unique ways to provide feedback to students. Of course, this is subject to change.
Question: My student forgot their credentials to their viking account
Answer: Students can ask their teacher for support. If anything, the teacher can request a password change.
