Virtual Class Etiquette
Clothing:
• Students must wear the DCS school uniform shirt while on Zoom
Academic Space:
• Students should not be joining Zoom sessions from their beds.
* An ideal academic space includes an environment with limited background noise and free from distractions (i.e. cell phones and television). Use of a cell phone during Zoom sessions may be grounds for dismissal from a Zooms session.
Parent Interactions:
• Per our Acceptable Technology Use Policy, parents are not permitted to be Zoom participants. Parents are not to interact with teachers during class
• Please understand that while we are instructing students, we are not able to simultaneously act as resources to teach parents. Please be mindful that when you interrupt instruction for your child, you are interrupting the entire instructional session.
• Parent interactions during class sessions may result in Zoom access for that student to be disabled for the remainder of that day's instructional sessions.
• Should a student zoom link be disabled due to parent interactions, the teacher will be available with office hours to answer any academic questions until 3:30 PM.
Student Interactions:
• Students should have their cameras on at all times while in the zoom session. If a student refuses to have the camera on they will not be permitted to remain in the class session.
• Students must log on to the zoom session with their DCS SCHOOL EMAIL, and first and last name displayed. (Only school emails are permitted to be used to log into school Zoom sessions. If a student’s name is not posted they will not be admitted to the Zoom class session. NO EXCEPTIONS)
• Students are required to attend ALL, classes. They will be marked as "cutting" if they do not attend all classes in a day (Unless approved by the school)
