Zoom Protocols and Etiquette for Students
- Join the Zoom meeting through the link on your teacher's Canvas page.
- Use your full first and last name.
- Be on time.
- Mute your microphone unless the teacher calls on you to speak. If possible, you should wear earphones with a mic to prevent background noise.
- Have your camera turned on so that teachers can verify your attendance.
- Dress in accordance with CPSB dress code policy.
- If the teacher calls on you and you do not respond to repeated attempts of contact, they can and will remove you from the Zoom classroom.
- If you are not dressed or behaving appropriately, the teacher can and will remove you from the Zoom classroom. Disciplinary action may be taken.
- If you get an error message or something is not working correctly, IMMEDIATELY take a screen shot and message it to your teacher in Canvas.
Quarantine Students Attendance
Virtual and Quarantine Class Schedule, Attendance, and Participation
- The school day begins at 8 AM and ends at 3:25 PM. (At home students, whether quarantine or virtual, are expected to follow their schedule and complete their work during this time. There may be additional work assigned as "homework" that traditionally is done at home after school.)
- ALL students attend class according to their class schedule - whether on campus, virtual, or in quarantine. (Middle school students, if you are in third period band, you should be attending Mrs. Jones' Zoom lesson from 9:35 to 10:19. If she doesn't have a live Zoom lesson, you should be working on the written lesson in Canvas from 9:35 to 10:19.)
- When an assignment is due at the end of the period, it must be submitted at the end of the period whether a student is on campus, virtual, or in quarantine. (Students at home do not have the option to wait and do the assignment later. If a student does this, it is considered late work and does not have to be accepted by the teacher or may have the grade docked for being late.)
- Tests are taken at the date and time assigned by the teacher and are submitted at the end of the allotted time for testing. (If a math test is scheduled for Tuesday and you are in 3rd/4th period math, you must get on your math Zoom at 9:35 and take your test while the teacher can monitor you on Zoom. When the teacher collects the test or ends the test in the classroom, students at home must submit their test at that time. You cannot wait until later in the evening to submit the test.
We know there will be instances when there are internet or electricity issues, personal illness, etc... But those cases will be handled on an individual basis by each teacher.

Jean/Spirit Day vs. Free Dress Day
