Attending a Digital Conference on Google Meet
We are using Google Meet for conferences and parent meetings this year.
You can access the conferences on your computer, phone or tablet.
Here are the links to download the Google Meet app on Android, iPhone and iPad.
We recommend using the Chrome Browser for your Google Meets.
**** Please note, if do not have the ability to meet using a computer, android device or iOS device please contact the school office as soon as possible. We will get you the information you need to attend by phone.
Preparing for the meeting.
Make sure you are in a quiet place that will allow you to hear the teachers and the teachers to hear you.
Make sure others in your house/office/area know you are in a meeting so there are no surprises.
Make sure you have reviewed some of the information below about how to manage your microphone and video.
Please be on time. We have meetings scheduled every 20 minutes and want to be fair to whoever has an appointment after you.
