Where is the online class link

 

  • Accept the Google Calendar invitation in your child's Gmail account; otherwise, you may not be able to find the online class link. 

  • Find the class link at Google Meet or Google Calendar on the class date by logging into your Child's Google account you have provided in the registration form.

  • All the class links for future classes are in the Google Meet or Google Calendar on that class date. You won't receive another email invite. The future class links may be changed. Always get the updated class link from Google Meet or Google Calendar on that class date

  • If you submitted a non-Gmail account at registration, then you may not receive the Google Calendar invite to the online class.  

  • Don't decline the Google Calendar invitation, otherwise, you will not receive class link updates in the future and may not be able to join the class.

  • If you need to use another Google Account to join the online class, please fill out this form to update your child's Gmail in our registration record. It will be updated in Google Calendar the following week.  

 

 

How to join the online class

 

  • For the security and protection of our students, and also for the teacher to identify your child, all students must join the class with the student's first name and last name, not a fake name. Parents' Google accounts not showing child's first name and last name will not be allowed to join the class.

  • If you prefer to use your existing Google Account, please update the account with your child's first name and last name. See how to change the name on the Google Account at https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27442

  • Please create a Google Account with your child's first name and last name. Do not create the Google account as a child custodial account. Google does not allow this type of account to join Google Meet. This account is for parents to manage their child's online class, Google Classroom, and participation of online contests if needed. You don't have to give the login ID and password to your child for access if you don't want to. After creating a Google account with your child's name, please fill out this form to submit a request to update the student's email address in our registration record. We only send the invitations of online classes, Google Classroom, and contests to this student's email address.

  • Don't use school email, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. They won't work.

  • If you need to use another Google Account to join the online class, please fill out this form to update your child's Gmail in our registration record. It will be updated in Google Calendar the following week.   

  • Your child may also enter their name manually before joining the online class if all Google accounts on the browser are logged out.

 

 

To Join the Class Without Requesting Permission

 

Log into Google Meet using the same Google Account that you received the class invitation in Google Calendar. Click the Google Account icon at the top right corner of the page to add or switch to the account and sign in to the online class (See picture below).

During the class

 

  • For the security and protection of our students, and to avoid any strangers or hackers, all students must turn on the camera for the entire class. It can also let the teacher make sure your child is paying attention and doing classwork during the class. You can turn on background blur if it is available for your computer but not virtual background.

  • Change the google meet layout to "Spotlight" after joining the class

  • Please prepare a paper notebook for your child to do the classwork.

  • Please encourage your child to not hesitate asking questions in the class if there is any doubt.

 

​

Help your child focusing during the class

  • Install parental control software on your child's computer, at router level, or DNS level to restrict your child from visiting inappropriate websites during the class time.

  • Let your child sit near to parents during the class time

  • Install a camera behind your child, so that they know parents are monitoring them anytime during the class.
