How to make a Stress Plan

Stress Plan Form

Updated January 2022
Teachers will have everything you need to complete placed in Canvas by 9:00 a.m. You will need to check all of your classes by 10:00 a.m. Plan to work through your school day at your own pace and on your own schedule. You will only have classes that were regularly scheduled for the normal in-person school day.
You are required to complete an attendance form for each class. Each teacher will post the attendance form via a Google form or Canvas Quiz on their Canvas page. Failure to complete the form will result in being marked unexcused for that particular class and work submitted will not receive credit.
You are required to complete and submit all coursework as defined by the teacher. Pay attention to deadlines, they might be different for each teacher. Student work will be graded and recorded in Powerschool.
All teachers will be available for questions between 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. via email or Canvas discussion board. Teachers will respond to student questions within one hour.
