• Please keep in mind that this is a surreal time and everyone is trying to figure things out as we go. Have patience for one another (your classmates, your teachers, etc) and for yourself!

• In hybrid and distance learning you may need to communicate with your teacher more than normal. If you have any questions you need to ask right away. Be in communication regularly, this one tip will ease a lot of stress.

In these unprecedented times it is even more important to try to keep things as "normal" as possible.

• When you're in the classroom, do you typically sit upright at your desk? I hope so! At home is no different; sit upright at a table or desk, not sprawled out on your bed or couch.

• Do you typically use folders to keep yourself organized? Then make sure you use electronic folders.

• Do you typically want to use your evenings for personal use (TV, social media, video games, etc.)? This won't be any different - do don't put your school work off until the evening!

• Use the same routine each day - this can make a world of difference!
