Keeping safely connected!

** On-site Chromebooks and computers are only to be used for
Rising TIDE related activities.**

  • Each staff member who will be connecting with young people virtually, has been given a Google Meet code to use for clubs meeting on Google Meet. 

  • If your responsibilities include being online with young people, pick up your Chromebook from the Fellowship Hall when you arrive. Use an electronic cleaner to sanitize it before using. (You may use your own device if you prefer.)

  • Computers are available for use in the Center, the Computer Room and the Purple Room. A computer cannot be used if a “quarantine mask” sign has been displayed on the computer screen.

  • Engage fully with those online if you are assigned to a particular class. Do not do other tasks while teaching virtually.

  • If you are hosting classes, do not get so distracted by doing other little tasks that you lose sight of what is occurring. You must be alert to any issues that arise and take corrective measures and/or inform the Executive Director or their designee.

  • The hosting station is to record all sessions, unless it has been requested by the Executive Director not to record, e.g. during youth groups due to sharing.

  • Your phone must be placed in a ‘Yondr’ pouch and locked during scheduled hours for young people. If you need to take a call, you must get coverage for your assigned work area at the time, secure permission to unlock your pouch from the Executive Director or their designee, step outside and complete your call as quickly as possible.

  • At the end of your time using a Chromebook or other electronic device, be sure to return it to the hosting station where it will be disinfeced before it is returned to circulation.

  • If you are staffing a room where computers are located, you are expected to sanitize the computers periodically throughout your shift.

    Please note:
    All Google Meet sessions are to be recorded. Be sure to end recording at the end of your session
