Update: Tuesday, April 07, 2020

Please be advised that I will be uploading Wednesday and Thursday's work in your child's Language folder in their Google Drive tomorrow morning.

We will have a short Google Meet tomorrow (Wednesday, April 08) at 10:00. This meeting is optional and the purpose is for students to see/speak to their teacher/friends since it has been a while now. I will only provide the link to the Google Meet 10 minutes prior to the meeting for safety reasons. The link will be sent to your child's email address.

Here's some more information regarding the use of the Google Meet app.

• I have sent a Google Doc to your child's homeroom (HRM) folder which explains how to navigate through the app. Login to the student portal. Click on Google Drive. Click on HRM (Homeroom) folder. Read through the Google doc "Google Meet - Student View"
• There is a dress code. Students should be dressed like it was a regular school day, so no pajamas
• Any Google Meet can be recorded; however, I will not be recording tomorrow's meeting since it is not instructional
• Once you have been provided with the link to the meeting, please make sure that you mute the microphone (explained in the doc "Google Meet - Student View)
• All conversations are viewable by everyone taking part in the meeting
• When it is a students turn to speak, I will ask him or her to unmute their microphone
• Any inappropriate behaviour will be reported to the principal
• Students must login and use their device in the kitchen or living room

Google Meet is not difficult to use, but we'll navigate through any issues as best we can since it is our first attempt. Students will go to their Gmail prior to 10:00 tomorrow and they will receive an email message/link to attend the meeting. Click on the link and it should open Google Meet. I hope that it all works out for us! Thank you for helping your child with these technological issues at this time. Much appreciated!
