                                  EXPECTATIONS FOR IN CLASS SOUND QUALITY/MUTING

I will always encourage all students to participate in the class experience. 
My desire is to have students unmuted as much as possible.  It creates an ease of interacting and answering questions without having to use time muting and unmuting.  In order for this to take place, it is important to have your student situated in a quiet place that is free from background noises such as televisions, radios, phone calls, or conversations.  Parents and siblings, please remember...the entire class can hear any conversation you are having in the room.

As the teacher, there are times that I will need to use the mute function.  If a student has background noise that may be distracting to other students, I will let them know they are being muted to help the sound quality.  I will also mute students at times to be sure the instruction can be clearly heard.  That being said, it is important that students know how to "unmute" themselves when asked to do so.  Teachers have the ability to mute, but unfortunately, not to unmute.

I realize that there are times when you may need to mute your own child for privacy reasons or due to unavoidable background noise, so please feel free to use your discretion in these circumstances.  Also, please show your child how to unmute him/herself when asked to do so.

Working together, we can attain great sound quality for all the students!
