Parent Communication

Platform for Virtual Programming
GirlsTaketheLead.org uses Zoom as its video platform. There is no cost to join a Zoom meeting or class. You do not need a Zoom license.  Zoom works with most devices and operating systems. If you are not sure about your devices refer to Zoom technical requirements.  You will be prompted to download Zoom the first time you join a GirlsTaketheLead.org class.  After the download, your learner will only need to click the link provided before each virtual class start.

Student Attendance
GirlsTaketheLead.org in person programs are rostered and require preregistration. Staff check in and check-out participating students.

GirlsTaketheLead.org Virtual Programs are rostered live online classes. Attendance will be taken in the zoom waiting room. We ask learners to check in with the instructor and enable the audio and video throughout the class.

Recording
We do not authorize recording of any GirlsTaketheLead.org Programs.

Devices for Virtual Programming
You will need a technology device with a microphone and webcam. Most newer devices have these built in. If you enroll multiple learners in one class, each should have their own device. If there is a specific device requirement for a class, it will be posted in the class description.
