Simple Google Meet Rules
- Be respectful of your classmates and your teacher. If you wouldn't do it if Mr. D and Mrs. Bowles were in the room, don't do it.
- Mute your mic when you enter the Google Meet. Keep it muted until you need to speak.
- Stay focused. It helps to be somewhere in your home where you can focus.
- We adore your pets and your siblings and your super-fancy room and what you're having for lunch...but remember to stay focused on your instruction while you're in your Google Meet.
- Follow your teacher's instructions for Google Meet.
