Required: Share with me the student's game tag, so I have it for class.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Minecraft

*In needing to invite students to my world, I have to friend them first, then I can send the invite.

- I need every student's game tag for Minecraft.  
- Students have 10 minutes to join the class.  If no one is in by 10 minutes, the class will be canceled for that week.
- At 5 minutes into class, all students will keep their microphones on, cameras off, zoom minimized, and play on Minecraft.

Please be sure to go over the rules with your child(ren).

Rules (may be updated throughout time):
- Each student gets 3 chances.  Once 3 streaks are hit, that student is kicked out of that meeting and withdrawn from the course without a refund.  If they are in any of my other classes during that time, they will be removed from those as well.  This is a must as I cannot enforce behavior that upsets other students, or no one would have fun.

- If a student received a strike or multiple strikes, the guardian will be notified, and whether they respond will NOT change the strike the student has.  The student's action is what got them the strike.  Please keep in mind that when I give a strike, it is because they did something intentionally, to be funny but wasn't, or broke a rule.  I do often just give a warning instead of a strike if I feel something they did wasn't that bad as in it didn't harm anyone or affect anyone else.  So if a strike is given, it was given for a good reason.

Harm a player = 1 strike
Prank someone = 1 strike
Hurt their animal = 1 strike
Harm any animal = 1 strike
Open someone's chest without permission = 1 strike
Open someone's furnace without permission = 1 strike
Act inappropriate = 1 strike (depending on how inappropriate, more strikes may be applied)
Break someone's things = 1 strike (depending on the damage done, more strikes may be applied)
Steal things = 1 strike
Disrespectful/rude = 1 strike (depends)
Animal cruelty = Removed from class
Kill a player or their animal intentionally = Removed from the class

If a student has a strike or under 3 strikes, they will be removed in 5 weeks so as long as they don't gain another one, then that 5 week will restart.

In the game:
There is a "home base" where there's a garden, trees, animals, and basic survival needs such as weapons, ores, wood, beds, and more.  Students are welcome to build anything in survival.  If more room is needed in the world for students to build, houses by students that have been gone for more than a month will be removed.

This has been put into place as there are always new students joining while other students are leaving.  Please keep in mind the house will only be deleted if the student is gone for more than a month and more room is needed.  If more room is not needed, the house will stay.

                                        **Communication is the key!**
