Mute/Unmute: We try not to mute learners during class. If your learner has background noise they may be muted and this will be communicated to them. Please make sure that learners are able to unmute their microphones or grownups are nearby to support.
Technical Issues: If you are experiencing technical issues during class time please try logging out of zoom and back in. Teachers like to be fully present for other learners during class time so may not be able to answer messages sent. If the problem persists please contact Outschool Support.
Teacher Substitutions: We are an organisation with a group of teachers. In some instances another teacher may substitute for another (in the event of sickness/appointments/other engagments). This will be communicated as soon as possible to learners and parents.Reviews
