CLASS BEHAVIOR & ADMINISTRATIVE INFO: 
Please make note of the following:
1) VIDEO REQUIRED. 
Video is required at the beginning of every class for check in. This is a requirement by Outschool. Upon verification, students may turn off their cameras. 

2) RESPECT
Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. Students are expected to be respectful to all during class.

3) NO SHARING
Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. Also, per Outschool policy, adults are also not allowed on-camera. Students should be able to navigate the class independently. 

4) MINIMUM ENROLLMENT
Classes with less than 2 students will be either canceled and refunded or rescheduled. 

5) MAKE UP SESSIONS
Make up sessions are not available. I encourage students to review the video for whichever class they missed.
