We want to remind parents that now that learning takes place in this way, in the home, teachers need your help in supervising and monitoring online behavior as students interact with new tools and methods.
You have the right to tell us that you do not want your child to have their video camera enabled for video/audio conferencing (notify your teacher).
Students should dress as they would when attending school
Students should join the video conference from an appropriate space in the home (such as at a kitchen table, desk, common space, etc., not laying/sitting on their bed or walking around with the computer in their hands)
Students should refrain from “showing their classmates around the house”
We are all in this together and the role of you as parents/guardians is crucial to its success! For any technology needs please contact Helpdesk via email or at (802) 857-7777, M-F 8 - 4 p.m.
