Nothing weird. Just the basics.
Month and day only.

A little about you
This part actually helps us get to know you.
Stay in the loop
Student Group Text
Reminders, activities, changes, and useful class stuff.
We use a Student Group Text to keep students updated.
We’ll use it for reminders, schedule changes, activities, and other class updates. Other students and teachers in the group may be able to see your phone number and messages. Standard messaging or data rates may apply.

If you have your own phone, this is the number we’ll add to the Student Group Text.
A parent or guardian will also acknowledge the Student Group Text on the family form.
The actual rules
Expectations
Same stuff from the video, now in convenient non-video form.
The very short version
Show up. Participate.
Everything else is pretty manageable.
5+ minLate = Tardy
3 tardies= 1 absence
25+ minLate = Absent
75%Attendance per term for credit
Phones
Unless we’re actually using one for the lesson, phones stay silenced and put away in a pocket or backpack.
Make-up work
It exists to help you catch what you missed, not to punish you.
Almost suspiciously easy
Quick review
Make sure we didn’t accidentally turn you into somebody else.

Family contact
The people and numbers we actually need.
Add each student separately. Use “Add another student” only if that student is also enrolled in this same class. If another child attends a different seminary class, use that class’s check-in link too.
Student 1
Leave blank if this student does not have a cell phone.
The parent / guardian contacts provided here will also serve as our
emergency points of contact for the student(s) listed on this check-in.
Parent Group Text
We’ll add the primary parent or guardian cell number above to a separate Parent Group Text for reminders, activities, schedule changes, and announcements.
Students are not in this group. No separate app is required.

Optional
Another parent / guardian
Skip it if there isn’t another contact we should include.
If you provide a cell number for this second parent or guardian,
we’ll add that number to the Parent Group Text too.
Optional
Student support
A little context can help us support your student well.
Communication + expectations
Student Group Text
Separate from the Parent Group Text.
Students have their own group.
This is normal group texting. Other students and teachers may be able to see your student’s phone number and messages. Standard messaging or data rates may apply.
