When joining Zoom meetings/lessons, always have your microphone on mute unless you are speaking.
If you want to speak during a discussion, raise your hand or use the ‘raise hand’ tool to respectfully get the teacher’s attention.
Try to only have one person speak at a time so that you do not speak over other people.
Always use appropriate language and tone. Everything you do is traceable and offenses will be taken seriously.
Do not make comments about other people’s houses or rooms they are in.
Remember your camera is on and other people can see you. Do not do anything you don’t want other people to see.
Do not take pictures, screenshots, or use recording options on any virtual meetings. While district employees may have certain permissions to do this, you do not.
Please support your child with connecting to the virtual meeting. Technical support is available by calling (805) 696-2700.
Do not participate in your student’s class session or meeting and stay off camera unless specifically asked to attend a meeting by your child’s teacher.
Parents of students with disabilities (IEPs and 504) may be present during the lesson in order to assist their child with accommodations or modifications. These roles will be discussed with the family during consultations with the student's case manager.
Try to limit background noises (dogs barking, other children playing, etc.)
Helpful tip: Earbuds/Headphones might be a great option to help keep your learner focused on the task.
Remember that things you say, even from a distance, may be heard by your student’s classmates and teacher.
Do not take pictures, screenshots, or use recording options on any virtual meeting.
All content shared during a virtual meeting is confidential and should not be shared in any way. Teachers will post class lesson content separately following protocols they have been given.
In addition, student behavior will be addressed by school administration in accordance with Board Policy and California Education Code.
