We have loved having you join us for the Zoom Whānau Hui each morning! It has been great to see your smiley faces and learn all about what has been keeping you busy at home during the lockdown.

Next week the Zoom Whānau Hui will include a shared book lesson.

Here is the link to the Hub 2 Slideshow

Below are some important notices that are being communicated by every Hub in their blog posts this week - please read carefully.

Students Zooming Each Other

We understand that students may want to Zoom each other under parental supervision. Under Zoom’s Terms and Conditions, students under the age of 13 should not hold Zoom accounts. Zoom’s Terms and Conditions allow students to have Zoom accounts under their School Subscriber’s account. This allows the students to be participants in meetings and also the school can maintain supervision and control over the students and their meeting experiences. If students are video calling other students, parents will need to create a personal Zoom account or use another platform with a personal account. A personal account must be used because the school is not able to monitor student to student calls effectively.

Zoom Meetings

We have Zoom protocols in place to ensure that all students and teachers have a positive learning experience using Zoom. Please familiarise yourself and your child with these protocols and if anyone does not follow them, they will be removed from the Zoom call and parents will be contacted. We will be recording our Zoom meetings and adding them to a folder in Google Drive that can be accessed at a later time if students cannot make the meeting. You can access these recordings using an Oaklands School account only. If you wish to change your child’s name that appears on the Zoom call, you can do so under Profile in settings on the Zoom website. If you do not want your child’s face to appear in the Zoom call, you can turn the camera off during the Zoom call.

Take care and stay safe in your bubble.

See you all on Monday at your Zoom Whānau Hui - 9:10am - Look out for the invite from your teacher!
