Students should be spending an equivalent amount of time working virtually as they would attending a regular school day.
Keep in mind, your child needs breaks throughout the day!
Keep in mind, your child needs breaks throughout the day!
In the KISJ school schedule students have built in breaks between classes as well as a longer lunch break, times during which they can stretch their legs and rest their minds. Please remind and encourage students to stretch, rest their eyes, get outside, have a snack, or take a brain break during their regularly scheduled transition times or as needed.
Since virtual learning may require an increased amount of time spent on the computer or other technological devices, encourage breaks to be technology free.
Remember!
Remember!
Transitions create stress due to change, which requires patience and empathy. Anticipate scheduling conflicts, lapses in response time, challenges with technology, and increased anxiety among students and adults, particularly in the early days.
