Teachers and students should follow these guidelines to ensure productive, respectful class time through all of our E-Learning platforms.

● Everyone is visible in a synchronous videoconference. Students should dress appropriately and should be in a comfortable work space with their device. It should be a quiet place with minimal distraction. The background should be appropriate for a child’s learning environment.

● Focus and engage. While in a synchronous videoconference, the microphone should be muted and released only when speaking in the virtual class. Keep your video conference platform open and do not navigate to other tabs or web pages unless directed by the teacher.

● Respect the privacy of other participants. Do not take screenshots or pictures of your teacher or fellow students. Do not make any audio or video recordings. These behaviors violate our policies and could result in disciplinary action. Additionally, headphones are suggested when engaging in a voice/video chat to ensure the privacy of others.

● Teachers will communicate to the administration inappropriate behavior that violates our Technology Acceptable Use Policies and Student Code of Conduct. Parents will be asked to partner with us to reinforce a respectful e-environment. Appropriate action will be enforced if necessary.
