Happy Three Day Weekend!!

I hope you are able to take some time for yourself this weekend. It is ok if everything is not perfect. We cannot pour from and empty cup and I know that most of you are getting pretty close to empty. You have been working nonstop since before school started. Please, find some time to rest and recharge. 

Tuesday, September 8 is the first day of Zoom authentication. We are currently down to 42 students that have not authenticated. I will be working on those. You have to make a change in your Zoom setting before Tuesday. Please let me know that you have made the change. Thank you!

Beginning, Tuesday, September 8th all students will be required to first sign in to Zoom by authenticating with Google before accessing their previously shared Zoom meeting links from Otus, Clever, or Google Calendar.

What this means for Teachers:

• Following virtual instruction on Friday, September 4th, Teachers must:

• Log in to Zoom with their District account.

• Click on Meetings to the left

• On the Upcoming tab, click the Edit button to the right of each meeting

• Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and under Meeting Options check the box next to “Only authenticated users can join”

• Teachers will then email Principals to let them know the change has been made.

Please Note: The above setting will not automatically apply by toggling the “Only authenticated users can join meetings” button from Zoom > Personal > Settings. Teachers will need to go into each upcoming and any future student meeting separately, and check the box next to “Only authenticated users can join meetings” as outlined above and in this video.

While teachers do have the ability to Edit and add university and county domains, consumer domains such as Gmail, Yahoo, Ymail, Hotmail, AOL, etc. should never be added as an authenticated domain.

I think that is all for today. Pretty short and sweet! Have a great weekend!
