Remote Learning Standards
Standards of Behavior for Remote Learning
Students are expected to show the same level of respect for the remote learning environment that they would bring to a classroom. They are expected to behave respectfully and maturely during any remote learning class or school activity. This means that any behavior during a live class (or recorded class) for any class or school related activity must align to our student handbook. Violations of remote learning standards will be handled by the appropriate Dean of Students.
Zoom Etiquette
Students must adhere to the following during any Zoom, or other video conference for school.
- Be prepared. Check your Canvas course pages and e-mail, BEFORE you report to class.
- Use Marist accounts only, along with accurate first and last names when signing in to any class or school activity.
- Students must be on time for remote learning classes otherwise they will be marked tardy.
- Students must be in an approved uniform Marist polo shirt, and are expected to practice good hygiene that reflects the appearance of standards outlined in the Student Handbook. Students should not wear hats, caps, hoods or clothing that contains inappropriate messages or images.
- The school provided virtual background must be used at all times when in a remote learning environment.
- Be seated upright at a table, desk, or other designated workspace in a quiet area with all school materials. Students should try to join remote classes from a private space free of distraction.
- Turn off or disconnect from non-academic distractions including, but not limited to, music, social media, texting, TV, games or other devices.
- To prevent outside or additional background noises use headphones or air pods.

Attendance Procedures
Parents/guardians are asked to call the school by 8:30 a.m. to report a student absent. Students are not permitted to report their own absences.
