GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS

• Establish a schedule and a daily routine for completing your assignments

• Find a comfortable, quiet space where you can work effectively and successfully, preferably with a good wifi signal

• Complete your assignments with academic honesty, always doing work to the best of your ability

• Notify your teachers ahead of time if you cannot meet deadlines or require additional support

• Collaborate and support your peers in their learning

• Stay active and get plenty of regular physical activity

• Upper school students - spend time on SAT/ACT prep as time allows

Video chatting in a professional setting is a new experience for many students. Here are some tips to help you.

• Getting clear video is all about contrast. Light your face more brightly than the background to make it easier to see you. Everyone wants to look good on camera!

• Hold your head high in the picture frame. It conveys confidence.

• Keep your clothing school-appropriate

• Be yourself. Move physically and make facial expressions. Do not try to be silly or distracting to others.

• Microphones pick up all ambient noise, so keep your mic muted until it’s your turn to speak.

• Remember activities such as eating, drinking, shuffling papers, etc. are distracting (and sometimes unflattering). Just don’t do it.

• If you can’t use video, upload a nice image of your face to your account, so that your classmates have something to look at while you speak.

• Enjoy yourself.

• Exit the call promptly when the time comes, do not hang around.
