Total points for class grade: 340
CPR Test: 20 points
The CPR unit will be completed during class. It is important that students follow instruction, as this is a high school graduation requirement for them. Students will not be able to graduate from high school without completing the CPR unit successfully. The test is completed after several days of instruction and practice. Students are taught hands-only bystander CPR and are given instruction on how to properly use an A.E.D. They will practice on mannequins and will be tested during class time.

DAILY CLASS EXPECTATIONS
1. Look for a Canvas announcement or weekly email. These will inform you of our current class activities and other needed information for that week.
2. Students have class every other day for a six week period. Related Arts classes are on an A/B-Day Schedule.
3. Canvas: The majority of assignments will be submitted on Canvas. Assignments can be submitted a variety of ways including, uploading files, typing into text boxes, and sharing thru Google documents/presentations. Students not having used Canvas before should alert the teacher and they will be shown how to submit assignments on Canvas. Individual assignments will indicate which method of submission on Canvas is expected. If students need a refresher or have questions, they can access the Canvas Student GuideLinks to an external site. for specific instructions. It is the student's responsibility to ensure assignments are submitted on time and to contact the instructor if there is a problem. The Canvas Learning Platform logs every student log-in on Canvas which provides teachers with a list of when students log-in to Canvas using their user I.D.
Log into Canvas:
a. Go to, Modules, on the left hand side of the page in the navigation bar.
b. Click on appropriate warm-up and assignment dated for that day of class. The warm-up and assignment should take no more than thirty/forty minutes to complete. Most assignments will be due by the end of the class block and completed in class.
c. If a student is quarantined, they should follow the instructions (a. and b.) above, and complete and submit the assignment for each class day they are out.
