Tips for Remote Learning

In preparation for the beginning of a new year, we offer the following suggestions for setting yourself up for success:

• Practice a good sleep routine now. Over the next few nights, practice going to bed and waking up earlier.

• Homeroom starts at 8:15 am. Wake up early enough to have breakfast, stretch, exercise, or meditate and organize your materials for the day. Try to log on 5 minutes early in case there are any technical difficulties.

• Get organized. If possible, designate one space you will use for live classes each day. Be sure that it has room to lay out your materials and is free from distractions. Headphones are not required, but may help students focus by filtering outside noises.
