Thinking of painting white built in bookshelf a nice deep navy or green. Very helpful

I’ve seen some people with masculine zoom rooms with black/dark navy paint and it looked interesting the first time I saw it, but now it looks super moody. Albeit there is minimal decoration.

I saw go for it if you decorate nicely and ensure you have great face lighting

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
