Google Meets Expectations Positive Behavior Supports Family Expectations

Families are expected to engage in opportunities that will assist them in being their children’s “first and best teacher”. Remote Learning Expectations include:

• Support KIPPster in finding a work space and materials (technology, paper, pencils, books) to be set up for success for Remote Learning

  • May include creating a daily schedule for your child (use the sample schedule as a guide but make it work for your family!)

• Check daily assignments on Google Classroom and check for your child’s completion of that work by 8 pm each night.

• Sign up for Guardian Summaries from Google Classroom to get an automatic daily summary of activity in your child’s classes, including any assignments that are not yet completed.

• Regularly check school’s Remote Learning Info Hub for new information and Flyer

• Ensure your child participates in weekly check in call/Google Meet with a Restorative Team member or your child’s advisor and reach out ongoing as needed. Weekly check ins include:

  • • Social emotional check-in

    • Review assigned work and get feedback

    • Review needs of family

• Set strict rules for your children's time on the internet to protect them from inappropriate content, cyberbullies, identity thieves and child predators. What your kids do online is entirely up to you. Protect them the best you can.

  • KIPP Colorado’s web filters block a lot of inappropriate content but are not perfect. Things you can do include:

    • Keep your eyes on their internet use. Set-up their remote learning work space in an area that you can supervise. Ensure they are only using school approved platforms and not wandering into other corners of the internet.

    • Teach them to keep private info private. Always insist that your kids never reveal their real names (first, last, or imaginary) or where they live, go to school, hang out or play to people they don’t know in “real” life.

    • Stay the course. The hardest part of supervising your child's Internet exposure and activity comes after you make the rules, even when you're talking, texting, cooking dinner, and working all at the same time.

Talk to your child about what to do if they are a victim of an online threat. They should report threats to their you, a teacher, a school counselor, or another trusted adult. If somebody is in immediate danger or a crime may have been committed, students, teachers, and team members should contact local law enforcement.
