There are 3 learning options this year for the 2020-21 school year:

1. Students can attend full-time at Hagerman JH/HS.
2. Students can attend Hagerman JH/HS virtually with distance learning.
3. Students can attend online home school through Hagerman Joint Virtual School with Venture Upward
   www.ventureupward.org

What is distance learning? 

Distance learning is when students will be attending regular Hagerman JH/HS classes virtually from home. These will be requirements of distance learning students:

1. Students will be required to be logged on their Chromebooks during regular class start times. If students are not in attendance on their Chromebooks when class begins, they will be marked absent/tardy. Students will fall under the tardy/absence policy of Hagerman JH/HS if they chose distance learning.
2. Students will be required to submit and complete assignments as per the request of each Hagerman JH/HS teacher.
3. If students do not have internet service at home, Hagerman JH/HS will do their best to find a service option for the student. Parents and students will be responsible for picking up and turning in assignments at the school. COMMUNICATION will need to be exercised during distance learning to ensure the success of the student.

We encourage students to be responsible and keep informed on important topics. Follow the link to learn more about the school handbook, Senior Projects, the technology handbook, graduation requirements, and more.

The student handbook is written in an effort to share with you information, services, activities, and policies of operation in our school. The purpose of the procedures and regulations has been developed with the welfare of our students, parents, and staff in mind.

Starting in the 9th grade, there are requirements that need to be completed prior to graduation.

Parent involvement is a great way to show your kids that you take an interest in their education; whether it be in elementary or jr/sr high school. It also sends a positive message to the student that you consider school a worthwhile cause.

Many schools are in the position to have to raise their own funds for activities.  Parent volunteers are essential to organizing and chaperoning fundraising events and other school activities.  

Even if you haven’t been involved in the past, it is not too late to start.  Contact your child’s teacher and/or school principal to discuss how you can volunteer today!
