Dear parents and guardians,

Thank you for making our first week of school a success. We wanted to share the following tips and graphic about Google etiquette:

• Find a quiet and appropriate place to be part of the Google Meet. Students should not to be in their bed or bathroom
  
  • Backgrounds behind the student need to be appropriate. Google will be releasing the ability to blur the background down the line.
• The camera must be on for the entire duration of the class. If a student needs to step away from their device, they should raise their hand and ask their teacher for permission.
• Students should be dressed appropriately
• Make sure you mute your mic when you enter and when you are not speaking.
• When you have a question or would like to speak, raise your hand or type in the chat box
• Use headphones to reduce background noise.
• Respect student privacy; do not take pictures, screenshots or record your online class
• Be respectful and patient
• Be attentive to your teacher and classmates while they are speaking.
• Give time for people to respond.
• Allow people to speak; do not talk over them.
• Be punctual
• If you get disconnected, email your teacher and continue to try to rejoin.
