  • Calendar Tips & Tricks

Teachers must post their attendance for all periods by 3 PM, every day, just as it is on the bell schedule in SIS (TEAMS). Students must be engaged daily in order for the teacher to code A-RL for that day. This is a TEA rule. For Example: On Fridays, only the advisory period meets synchronously and the rest of the periods meet asynchronously. Teachers are still required to post their attendance for the periods on Friday that are meeting asynchronously. Students must be engaged daily in order for the teacher to code A-RL for that day. Synchronously = Zoom Class Time Asynchronously = BLEND Class Participation Students, please advocate for yourself and email your teacher if you feel there is an error in your attendance. Parents, please contact KMS Attendance Specialist, Rae Nwosu via email rae.nwosu@austinisd.org or phone 512-414-2450, if you need support.
