Google Classroom Tutorial
Seesaw Tutorial for Students
ECC: Parents should regularly check Seesaw using their parent account. Teachers will upload activities either in the student’s journal or through Seesaw messages.
Elementary School: Students must check their own Seesaw accounts. Teachers will post activities and any additional information there. Parents may access the student’s journal and messages through their family account; however, they cannot view or access activities that are assigned directly to students for completion.
Middle/High School: MS and HS students must access all learning materials through Google Classroom only.
For any technical difficulties, kindly contact our Technology Department through itsupport@asb.bh
Students are expected to approach virtual learning with the same standards of responsibility and conduct that apply during the regular school day. In particular:
Cameras are expected to be on during live sessions unless otherwise directed by the teacher.
Students must wear appropriate casual clothing suitable for a school environment.
Students should work from a quiet space, where possible, minimizing background noise and distractions.
Students must be prepared for each lesson with the necessary materials and ready to begin on time.
Respectful behaviour is required at all times, including appropriate language, active listening, and responsible use of the chat function.
Safeguarding & Online Conduct
Live sessions may be monitored to ensure student safety and wellbeing.
Students must not record, photograph, or screenshot any part of a lesson.
Online behaviour expectations mirror our in-school expectations, and all school policies remain in effect during virtual learning.
