# 5.3 Community Guidelines (Texas)

In order to provide an opportunity for students to connect in a positive and safe learning environment, we ask that all participants in our virtual events and student clubs observe the following guidelines:

### **Student Responsibilities**

- Students should demonstrate respect for others through appropriate language and behavior. They should avoid profanity and any other inappropriate verbal or nonverbal communication.
- Students should listen to directions from advisors and presenters and leave their Zoom account on mute until instructed otherwise.

### **Parent/Staff/Guest Expectations**

- Parents are not required to attend virtual events or student club meetings, but should monitor their students to ensure that they follow the guidelines.
- Staff, parents, and guests should respect participants.

We value the well-being and education of all students and guests. Violating the guidelines may result in participants being asked to leave the virtual event or student club meeting.

Thank you for your participation in the OpenEd community!
