There are expectations for appropriate behavior during all Zoom classes. All sessions will be recorded with chats saved by the teacher as instructed in the E-Education plan from the Everett Public Schools. Here are a few basic behavior expectations for any Zoom session created by our entire team:

STUDENTS SHOULD...

• Respond to attendance checks and questions

• Use their actual names when logged into e-learning

• Use the "raise hand" and "mute" features when possible

• Stay present and free of distractions

• Be respectful of peers, teachers, and guests

OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR WARNING SYSTEM

The following behavior warning system was developed by the Everett Public Schools as part of the 2020-2021 E-Education plan. Continued behavioral issues will be referred to Assistant Principal Mrs. Taylor and Guidance Counselor Mr. Piazza.

• 1ST WARNING: Your teacher will send you a private chat message telling you it is your first warning. Students will be muted if necessary.

• 2ND WARNING: The student will be placed in the Zoom waiting room for 5 minutes and sent another private message with a final reminder about behavior.

• REMOVAL: If the behavior continues, the student will be removed from the Zoom. The Assistant Principal will be notified who will follow up with the student.
