Attendance for Comprehensive Distance Learning:

Daily attendance for Comprehensive Distance Learning is defined by two-way contact with the student (or Parent/Guardian).

For K-5 - contact with the self-contained teacher/staff

For 6-12 - contact with that subject area teacher/staff

Interaction can be evidenced by any of the following or reasonable equivalents:

• This contact can include synchronous ("live") classes, wellness checks, synchronous ("live") participation.
• Examples include: 1:1 tutoring, related service provision, online meetings, phone conversations, two-way communication through emails, an online communication platform, time-stamped survey with individual student responses within one day.
• Participating in a video class;
• Communication from the student to the teacher via chat, text message, communication app or email;
• A phone call between the teacher or educational assistants/paraprofessionals and the student, or, for younger students, with the parent or guardian of the student;
• Posting completed coursework to a learning management system or web-based platform or via email; or
• Turning in completed coursework on a given day.

When there is no evidence of student interaction during a 24-hour period surrounding a scheduled school day as described, students are reported as absent for the day (grades K-5/ self-contained) or class (grades 6-12/ individual subject).

Meal Services Available --

Kings Valley Charter School  Kitchen is pleased to welcome students back to school. Part of a school day includes breakfast and lunch. This year we are ready to provide a twice weekly delivery of meal boxes that will contain breakfast and lunch for a couple of days. These meals will follow a similar menu pattern that students are familiar with including milk, fruit, and vegetables. They will require refrigeration, freezer space and minimal prep for your child. We will provide complete instructions with the delivery. We will designate a meal box pick-up location depending on where your family resides. If you are unable to meet at a delivery location and require a direct delivery we can arrange that as part of the service. As an additional service we can create meal boxes for families that purchased their meals previously. KVCS Kitchen Staff are committed to providing meals that meet all of our student dietary needs and will provide meal boxes that fit your children’s requirements. 

*We have received an update to our information 9/2/2020 - KVCS will be able to provide food to ALL students at no charge!  You just need to complete the Meal Request Form.  Completing the Free/Reduced form, even if you don't think your family may qualify, can help our school, and may be beneficial if the eligibility guidelines change, or if the summer program ends in December. (This opportunity is a continuation of the summer program that provides meals to all children).

MEAL REQUEST FORM  - please fill this out to be added to our KVCS program list. We will contact families with delivery locations and times.  

As part of the Student Success Act, the State of Oregon has allocated additional funds to provide nutrition to more children. Please fill out the Free/Reduced form even if you do not qualify for that program. This form will determine eligibility for the new program under the Student Success Act.
