Distance learning

Working from home now with the COVID virus, please make sure to stay safe online. Take note of any guidelines that apply for online communication.

For Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children we expect parents to remain present at all times when joining a video conference. For Year 3/4, please make sure you are around. For year 5 upwards, please make sure your child understands this code of conduct.

Any video conferencing at home between pupils or adults other than staff is entirely under the responsibility of the parents, even when the school platform is used.

This​ ​code​ ​applies​ ​to​ ​users​ ​of​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​Communication​ ​Technology​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Europa School.​ ​Access to the school ICT network is only permitted to those that accept this agreement. By signing in to your google account or by signing in to a computer, you agree to abide by this code.

The code for video conferencing

1) Parents and students must not record images, video or audio of other participants, including the teacher

2) No inappropriate language or visuals can be used or displayed.

3) The Chat line must be used in a responsible way and as directed by the teacher.

Failure to follow this code will result in your child being banned temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of the breach.

All emails and google hangout chats are recorded.

Your Behaviour

• You should use email/chat sensibly and constructively, using polite language. Be nice!

• You should follow instructions of your teacher at all times.

• In a video call - mute yourself until your teacher says otherwise and make sure you are properly dressed.

• Only do video calls with class mates/friends with your parents permission. The responsibility for any video calls/chats using the school platform without the supervision of a teacher is with your parents.

• If you accidentally come across something inappropriate, you notify a member of staff/parent. If no adult is available, exit immediately.

• Don't organise whole class/large chat groups with children from another year group. Exit if someone includes you.

• The school email address/account should only be used for school related purposes.

• You should not use any of the school’s facilities to cause distress to others.

• You should never opt to save your password automatically or write it down somewhere. You should not share your password with anyone else.

Your SAFETY:

• You should not arrange to meet anyone in person without first agreeing it with your parents/teacher/carer and you should get them to come along to the first meeting.

• You should not disclose to anyone that you communicate with on the Internet any details that could identify you or your family or your school.

• You should not send anyone your picture without permission from your teacher/parents/carer.

• You should exit if someone says or writes something which makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, and you should always report it to a teacher or parent.

● You should not respond to unpleasant, suggestive or bullying emails or messages and you should always report it to a teacher or parent.​

Monitoring:

● The school retains the right to randomly monitor Internet use, e-mails and documents stored in your account.

● Use of the school's facilities for unauthorised activity may be a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act, will be treated as such by the school, and the appropriate authorities may be notified.

● A user area and all the files in it remain the sole property of Europa School UK and are subject to inspection at any time.

These rules are not necessarily exhaustive, but explain the kind of behaviour and responsibility that is expected of pupils in school. Any user breaking any of these rules may have their access to the school computers/accounts withdrawn, and may face possible further action.
