Please join the Zoom Meeting. An invitation was emailed to you on Sunday (it is also posted in Schoology).

Try to join the call a couple minutes early so that everyone can enter on time.

If you arrive late to the meeting, you'll have to wait in the waiting room if we've already begun the daily check-in as I won't be able to see late joiners while in ScreenCast mode.
