Update regarding Zoom

In order to follow Zoom security recommendations, we will be implementing selective meeting invitations, a required password and the waiting room feature.

A parent/caregiver will receive a bi-weekly email from Amber McNair with meeting details. The email will contain the Zoom Meeting ID and link, along with a required meeting password. When joining the Zoom meeting, participants will first enter a waiting room, and the meeting host will allow entry. 

If you would like to be added to the email list to receive weekly meeting details, please email Amber McNair.
