In this section, I have placed some common questions and answers.


  1. Will my student have to login every day?

    • Yes. Attendance will be taken for every subject.

  2. Will work be graded?

    • Yes. All work will count towards the final grade.

  3. Do I have to turn on my camera?

    • This school year, it is a requirement to turn on your camera for the whole lesson.

  4. When do I log in and when is school over?

    • Log on at 8:10am, school ends at 2:49pm.

  5. Do I need to wear uniforms while I am taking class from my home?

    • No, but dress appropriately. No pajamas, and fully clothed.


Please let me know if you need anything else. I am here to help! :)

How should my workspace look?

  • Quiet area

  • Hard workspace / Desk/ Table

  • Have a sharpened pencil and other supplies ready.

  • Make sure your computer is charged/plugged in. Live videos quickly drain the computer.

  • Microphone must be muted until you are called on.

  • Everyone in camera view must be fully dressed.
