** This world exists on a teacher-hosted Minecraft Realm. So, parents can be reassured that only approved learners can have access to the world. 

** Parents will be need to send me their child's Minecraft User Name so that I can give them access to the realm. 

** Verbal communication takes place through the Zoom app. So learners will need to make sure not to turn it off.
