Internet/Service Outages: What to Do

Power and internet outages:
If a student/teacher experiences a power or internet outage:

  • Contact your teacher or school to report the outage.
  • If you lose power or connection during a Microsoft Teams class session and you are unable to connect, you should attempt to connect as soon as a connection is available.  
  • If your teacher is suddenly absent without notification from a Microsoft Teams class, you should leave the session and re-enter after 15 minutes.  If the teacher is still absent from Microsoft Teams you may end class.   
  • The teacher will follow up with individual students or the class as soon as possible.  
  • You should take note of asynchronous activities you could do without an internet connection.  
  • You can also continue to work on previously assigned classwork.
