Welcome to Teacher Riley’s virtual tutoring class! This class is to help support learners in grades kindergarten and first grade with their academics surrounding math, reading, and writing.

Parents, please send me a message 48 hours in advance of your learner's session(s) each week that includes the academic content your learner is working on so I have enough time to prepare instructional material, this will help me provide the best support for your learner!
 
These tutoring sessions will cover the following subjects:
- Reading
- Writing
- Mathematics
- Alongside daily worksheets that cover all three subjects in one.

**The level at which learner's will be taught at during these sessions is to be determined by the listed parent, meaning subjects will be taught either at preschool, kindergarten, or first grade levels.**

By enrolling your learner in this class, you're agreeing to the following classroom rules, expectations, and policies I set for my virtual classroom:

Classroom Rules and Expectations:
- Be kind to your fellow classmates, yourself, and the teacher.
- Use appropriate language. (No swearing, cussing, or abusive/threatening language.)
- Do not share any personal information or links.
- Allow others to speak and refrain from talking over someone who is already speaking.
- If you have a question, please be patient and raise your hand.
- Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated.
- Every student will need to have a Zoom username that matches their enrolled first name on Outschool, otherwise that student will not be let in, no exceptions.
- Every student will need to verify their identity via video (webcam) upon joining the session, otherwise that student will not be let in, no exceptions.

Student Behavior:
Students need to be respectful, kind, and courteous towards other students and the teacher. Behaviors that are aggressive, rude, or disruptive will not be tolerated, as this almost always ruins the experience for everyone else. Any student showing these behaviors will only receive two (2) warnings, after that they will immediately be removed from the session and will not be allowed back in until the next session.

Microphone Use:
I do not require my students to keep their microphones muted during class, however, if a student is making unnecessary noises (i.e. singing, humming, created noises from wiggling/fidgeting, etc.) that cause a disruption, I will give that student two (2) warnings to mute their microphone. If they don't listen or just do not hear me, I will automatically mute their microphone without any further warning. This same rule applies for if/when a student is purposely talking over me, another student, or being disruptive.

Communication Guidelines: 
In direct correlation with Outschool's policies regarding communications, all means of communication between teachers, parents, and learners need to stay on the Outschool platform for student safety and privacy reasons. If a learner wishes to communicate with another student for any reason, the parent first needs to reach out to me via private message on Outschool, and then use the classroom page to communicate with the other parent.

Failure to follow these rules may result in a student’s immediate removal from the class or group and their enrollment being cancelled.

Refund Policy: 
- If you determine that any enrollment with me is not a good fit for your learner, or you are unsatisfied with your purchase, I will 100% refund your enrollment fee.
- If your learner misses class, please reach out in advance and request a refund, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I understand there are other unforeseen circumstances and I’m willing to take care of refunds in those situations.
- If a learner misses class and I do not receive notice after 24 hours (1 day) of the missed class or session, parents may not be entitled to a refund.
