Expected Behaviour

In the virtual classroom you need to meet the same expectations that are set by your teachers in your normal classroom situation. Inappropriate comments and language are unacceptable. Your parents will be notified if your online behaviour does not meet the expected standards.

Access to Devices

Due to the speed that this Lockdown was put in place we will not be able to issue any devices for students in these first three days. We will be looking at the logistics of issuing devices if the lockdown is extended beyond these three days.
