Bright Scholars University Code of Conduct

• Each student must have a quiet place to learn and study when engaging in the online participation portion of the program.
• Online assignments must be submitted no later than Saturday 12am PST for the week it is assigned.
• Assignments with specific dates must be postmarked or received on or before the due date.
• Meetings marked required must be attended, those marked optional can be attended live or watched later.
• Buddy meetings and small group meetings are required but the dates and times are set by parents and students in the group.
• Students must not be disturbed or interrupted during online instruction because all students must be focused, and it helps the teacher keep instruction flowing smoothly. Only emergencies are considered excusable. (Parents note: even if something your child is doing is bothering you or you may consider a distraction, allow the teacher to handle it just as if the child was in the classroom at a brick and mortar school)
• All background noise must be eliminated by muting or being in a different room that is quiet.
• Parents and students must be proactive and involved with the success of their child by working alongside as a team with the teacher. The goal is to create confident, intelligent, independent learners and parents must be able to trust in the teacher’s methods. (i.e. please don’t give the child the answers no matter how frustrating it is for them or you but instead direct them back to the skills needed to solve the problem; don’t try to teach them something while they are being instructed in class because it can cause confusion and the child will focus more on you than the teacher)
• Students must be actively engaged each week both online and offline with lectures, learning apps, workbooks, projects, research, and field trips.
• Internet should be high speed and or plugged directly into the modem to avoid as much glitching and interruption as possible. However, based on the volume of people that will be using the platform and internet, it is expected that we will get some disruption. We will then resort to other means of communication.
• Devices used for the online session should be up-to-date, able to handle the duration of the online session, and the requirements for completing assignments.

Note: Not every code of conduct applies to every class or students who are being tutored or every situation. However, these are the basic guidelines that will make our online learning experience successful. More details will be sent once you sign a contract.
