Zoom Meeting Expectations
As we continue on with our Remote Learning, we thought it would be helpful to share some of the same tips and ideas that we are sharing regularly with our teachers;
Tips and Expectations for Zoom and Web Conferencing with Teachers
- Be on time to meet with your teachers and classmates
- Find a quiet place in your house to work in away from pets, children, etc. Turn off the TV and any music.
- Face your screen and make sure you’re muted when not talking if your location is noisy. Just a reminder the class and teacher can hear any noises or discussions coming from the background!
- Be yourself and respect others!
- Ask questions
- Think before you write or speak
- Set up an intentional space where the class is going to happen and be prepared. Come to the meeting with a positive attitude!
- Turn off the camera if you need to blow your nose, take a drink, etc.
- Don’t move your Chromebook or iPad around - we don’t want our teachers to need Dramamine!
- Plugin and close all other tabs: Video-conferencing uses a lot of machine power. It's a good idea to keep devices plugged in and to prevent the video from stuttering, close out of any other tabs so the device can put all its muscle into the video.
- Even if it is a pajama top or sweatpants, please make sure your child has a shirt and pants/summer shorts on please.
During these remote learning days, teachers are monitoring student attendance by observing their level of engagement throughout the week. Student engagement may include, but is not limited to, any of the following items:
- Completing assigned work
- Participating in virtual meetings, discussions, or lessons
- Communicating with teachers through email, Google Classroom, Seesaw, or phone calls
Teachers monitor student engagement to ensure all students remain connected to their school. Should a teacher see a pattern of disengagement, the school principal or social worker will reach out to see how the schools might be able to provide resources to support you and your family.
