Until online behavior norms are established, consider turning off class comments to limit inappropriate behavior in Classroom. Once norms and trust are established, you can mute individual students as needed in the “People” tab to prevent them from adding comments.
Non-SFUSD accounts will not be able to join SFUSD Classrooms, so all CBOs, partners, and volunteers will need to get an SFUSD email if interacting with students or their work.
