Safety
Student safety is our top priority.
One critical step in protecting our classroom community and in promoting open and positive communication is to ensure that each participant is, in fact, a child (ages 3-18). To confirm that only children are enrolled in our classes, we require that each learner join the class with video enabled so they can connect in person with the teacher at least once at the beginning of each class.
This visual check-in procedure allows the teacher to confirm that the learner is, in fact, a child. With that confirmation from the teacher, your learner may elect to participate with the camera disabled (unless expressly noted by a teacher in their class description).
Learners without cameras, anyone refusing to turn on cameras, or individuals experiencing technical difficulties who cannot check in with a teacher in person will not be admitted to class; they will be put in the waiting room.
