Student Guidelines for Remote Learning
Student Guidelines for Remote Learning with Video Conferencing Tools
While schools are closed your teachers/educators may provide the opportunity for virtual meetings via Google Hangouts, Google Meet, Zoom, or other video conferencing tools. Participating in video conferences is a great way to stay connected with your educators and classmates, but it is important for you to follow these rules and guidelines.
NOTE: only educators can initiate Google Meet/Hangout calling, and only educators can video record the calls. Video recordings may be archived by the MCA administrator.
Remember that you are on camera and live. Your educator and fellow students can see what you are wearing and your facial expression. Find a quiet place in your house. Dress appropriately, following school dress codes.
You are not anonymous. Be mindful of your expressions, speaking tones, and what you say. Your voice and video are viewed by everyone participating in the conference. Other people in your house can hear what you and others in the video conference are saying.
Follow the same classroom rules that you would follow in real life. Listen to the teacher. Take turns to speak. Be kind and considerate.
Think before you speak. Stay on topic. Make sure your comments are clear and appropriate to the conversation. Don’t say anything you wouldn't say in your actual classroom.
Be a good listener. Take the time to listen to what people are saying. Don’t interrupt others.
Think before you type. If your educator enables the Chat feature you may be able to participate by typing into a chat box. Choose your words carefully. Use appropriate spelling and grammar. Stay on topic. Don’t use sarcasm or humor that could be misunderstood. Don’t type in all caps.
Take it slow. Remote learning is probably a new experience for you. Resist the impulse to be silly or to say or type the first thing that comes into your mind.
Video conferencing is a privilege. If you cannot use it responsibly your access to school managed video conferencing tools will be removed.

"Mississauga Christian Academy was the elementary school for our two older kids and our youngest is currently studying in the school. The school staff is dedicated to excellence in the academic education and adhering to Christian values. They are always there for the kids supporting their educational success and spiritual progress, being able to get the best from both. Our older children are now in excellent programs in university which will help them to achieve the future they desire & the youngest one is excelling towards the same. We don't have any doubt that Mississauga Christian Academy is a major player in our life to get our kids the best education which is wrapped by God's teaching to be who they are now and how they will end up in the future. "
"We have been part of Mississauga Christian Academy for the past 12 years. Our eldest son, who is now in his third year at Ryerson College graduated from MCA in 2014. Currently, we have a son in grade 6 and a daughter in grade 2. We decided to send our first born to MCA because it was highly recommended to us by church friends. MCA has exceeded our expectations in providing our children with God centered education, high academic standard and a nurturing environment. Over the years, we have also grown to love MCA for its diversity and genuinely caring community of teachers, parents & administrative staff. Our children love their teachers who are kind, loving & dedicated to seeing each child succeed. "
"We learned about MCA from our cousins who went to MCA in the 1990’s and are all doctors now. Our children have attended MCA since JK and they are now in Grades 3 & 5. MCA is known for its academic excellence. Our children are learning in a structured environment, their Math and Language are at least 1-2 grades higher than others in the public system and also started French in JK. The students are learning the Christian worldview with well-behaved peers and supportive parents, which are invaluable in building their foundation. The principal, teachers & staff are excellent. They genuinely care for the students, always take the time to listen to our questions or concerns, prompt and appropriate arrangements are made to address them. We are very grateful to be part of the MCA community."
