Best Digital Practices

While meeting digitally is not the same as meeting in person, the amount of respect and expectation of following the rules should remain the same.

Your Edger will be expected to dress in an appropriate manner, much the same way that they would in person.

We recommend your Edger using your parent account.

A password will be provided to provide an extra layer of security to ensure that only the teens invited to the call are attending.

Two adults will be present during the zoom meeting. Edgers will not be allowed into the meeting until two adults are present.

All meetings will be recorded for safe environment purposes, and a recording will be sent to the parent's e-mail account if desired.

Edgers will be informed that they must join the digital meeting from common space in their home.

Please agree to the following:
- By joining this meeting, you agree to allow your child(ren) to be seen by all participants.
- By joining this meeting, you are agreeing to all videos being recorded for safe environment purposes.
