These protocols are established to protect you and others whilst using “Google Team & Google Classroom”. At any point during a meeting a member of staff in the meeting has the right to remove you from the group if these protocols are not adhered to.
Expectations
• No recording or copying of images in the “Google Meet & Google Classroom”.
• It is not permitted to record the Face-to-Face seminars or take any screen shots of what is taking place.
• Dialogue in the “Google Meet & Google Classroom” Meeting, both verbal and typed, must be professional at all times
• It is important that “Google Meet & Google Classroom” Face-to-Face meetings are delivered in a formal manner as would be in a lesson in MTO Persian School. If contributing to the discussion via the chat feature please use appropriate formal language.
• This is the same for addressing teachers and feedback verbally. Please ensure that you are invited to speak, if you are participating.

• Face-to-Face sessions will be set up to start at a specific time. It is expected that students attend at this time. Students who attempt to join sessions after 20 minutes of the start of the lesson may not be accepted.
• If you have justified reasons (appointments, technical issues) for being late to a session please email your teacher directly prior to the session or during. Please also include school office by sending a message to school’s mobile and follow the normal attendance procedure.
• Follow the guidance and instruction of your teachers at all times.
• Face-to-Face sessions will follow a clear structure which is expected with a script at the start and the end. Please ensure that you follow this guidance and any further instructions given for the lesson by your teachers.
