Microsoft Teams Joining Instructions
Cadets, Parents, and Guardians:
Microsoft Teams is a secure communication platform that we will be using to deliver virtual training this year, and to replace Slack (our previous platform) for years to come. It is a requirement that all cadets join Teams.
Join teams now by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/boNwvJ6f7pN2HSXY6
Parents and Guardians:
We ask that all parents/guardians motivate their cadet(s) to login and participate on Teams.
As with all cadet related activities, your cadets safety is our highest priority. The only non-cadets permitted to join teams have a valid police records check and vulnerable sector screening, and have or are supervised by a member that is authorized “in accordance with orders of the Chief of Defence Staff to train, supervise, and administer cadets”.
Teams is monitored, to the best of our ability, for negative and cyberbullying activity. In the event of negative or cyberbullying, please reach out to the Commanding Officer via 87squadron@gmail.com.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please reach out to the Commanding Officer as your point of contact. The CO is available via 87squadron@gmail.com
Thank you for continuing to support your cadet(s). We look forward to a successful training year as we rise to the challenge presented to us.
Sincerely,
C. Bowman
Captain
Commanding Officer
