There’s nothing more disappointing than a faulty internet connection during an important event! It’s essential that you get parents on board for at home students. Ensure that they have a stable internet connection that works outside with an iPad or laptop prior to the field day to eliminate problems if they plan on Zooming live with you.
Prepping ahead of time is key too! Email a list of all the necessary materials in advance so parents have the needed resources to participate in the field day games. To make sure everyone is on the same page you may want to have a Zoom meeting a day prior to the event. That way parents can ask questions and you can go over the field day games themes so it runs smoothly for all.
You can even record a video of you going over all of the directions, which parents can watch and rewatch if they are confused, need help, or don’t wish to participate in a live, real-time setting.
