How to make a Stress Plan

Stress Plan Form

Bishop Chatard High School will implement asynchronous e-learning days for canceled school days due to unexpected weather or events. When this occurs, the campus will be closed. Students will use Canvas for instructional materials. Students are expected to check every course in Canvas and complete attendance for each course by 10:00 am.

  • Class Schedule: The schedule of classes can be found on the Bishop Chatard website and the student news app. Students only need to complete coursework for the classes scheduled on the cancellation date.
  • Course Format: Students will use their iPads or other electronic devices to access course content via Canvas. Classes scheduled for the canceled day will continue in a virtual format.
  • Pacing: Students can work through their assignments at their own pace, but they must adhere to due dates set by their teachers.

Attendance Procedure

  • Each teacher will post an attendance form on their Canvas page, either a Google Form or Canvas Quiz.
  • Failure to complete this form by 10 am will result in being marked unexcused for that class, and any submitted work may not receive credit.

Coursework Submission

  • Students must complete and submit all assignments as defined by their teachers, adhering to the teacher’s specified deadlines.

Teacher Availability:

  • Teachers will be available for questions from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm via email or the Canvas discussion board.
  • Teachers will respond to student inquiries within one hour.
