We are looking forward to welcoming along to our online event this evening the parents/carers of our S5/6 pupils. We anticipate that this evening will run smoothly and to further support its success there are just a few points to highlight. Namely:
- Teachers will be available from 4.00-6.20pm to undertake appointments. Only appointments that have been pre-booked up until 7pm last night can be taken
- Meetings will be open for up to 5 minutes at which point they will automatically close. There is a 1 minute buffer built in between appointments to allow staff and parents to prepare for their next meeting
- The video technology in use requires that participants have a web cam and microphone. This should be tested prior to the meeting starting
- Chrome (internet browser) is recommended for use on a laptop/PC/Tablet or smartphone as it’s best for connectivity. Safari (internet browser) is recommended for iPhone/iPad.
- Microsoft Teams, Zoom or any other software that may have control over your microphone/webcam should be closed before joining the parents evening video meeting
- If you encounter a grey screen where you expect a video meeting it is an indication that your device/computer cannot connect to the video meeting server. If possible, we recommend trying a different internet connection or even a different internet browser. If still unsuccessful and if you have access to another device then it should be used.
Video help guides are available in a previous post should you require further assistance.
