- Be mindful that the online classroom is, in fact, a classroom and not the appropriate time to engage or add comments during the teachers’ instructional time with the class.
- Communication: schedule an appointment via email to discuss your child’s progress with his/her teacher.
- Do not interrupt, engage, or interact with the teacher during a live Google Meet. Remember, this time is for the children. Please schedule an appointment to talk to the teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
- Recording instructional sessions without permission is prohibited.
- Assist your child with their work as needed, but do not complete or supply answers. Let your child be the student.
- Everyone who might appear on camera needs to be dressed and behaving appropriately - check what your camera can pick up behind your child.
- Teach your child how to mute and unmute. Then, remember that when the mic is on, the class will hear everything anyone says within its range.
- Check your child’s audio daily. Check that he/she can hear and that when he/she is asked to unmute by the teacher, the teacher and class can hear him/her.
- Understand that although your child is learning from home, when he/she is logged into a Google Meet, they are in a real classroom. Please respect this and provide an environment free of distractions as best you can for the duration of the Google Meet.
- While “in class”, students should leave their camera on so their teacher can see the student.
