DISTANCE LEARNING

ONLINE ETIQUETTE

Online Etiquette - Primary Division

Depending on individual classroom or student needs, teachers may schedule video calls with students/parents. Here are some things to keep in mind for student/teacher conferencing:
 

• Lower school students should have an adult present (preferably a parent) in any individual video conferences

• Students should be seated at a table in a common space (not on beds)

• Clothing appropriate for school should be worn (no pajamas)

• School appropriate language and conduct is expected

• Be mindful of noise. Wear headphones/earbuds if possible. Explain the use of the mute button to make Teams or Zoom (if used) effective.

• Raise your hand, etc. 

• Students should inform other family members at home that they are on a video call
