Tips for parents.pdfTips for Students
1. Turn off all notifications and put the phone away. Avoid unnecessary interruptions to your workflow.
2. Keep a regular schedule for school work. If possible, maintain a typical school day schedule of waking up, eating breakfast, working on classes for at least two hours. If all assignments are not finished within those two hours, plan to work over or come back to it in the afternoon as “homework” just like you would at a brick and mortar school
3. Make school a priority. Your school time needs to be sacred. Yes, the nice thing about virtual school is the flexibility, BUT the more consistent students are with their school schedule, the more successful they tend to be.
4. Get dressed. It’s important to treat school like an important event each day because it is important.
5. Create a neat, quiet, orderly space for school work You want a space that’s comfortable, stocked with the necessary supplies, and reflective of the work you are doing.
6. Remember virtual school is still school. It’s not a vacation and it’s not unimportant. In addition to math, science, literature, and history, you are learning how to self-manage and self-motivate. These are important skills you will carry with you into the workforce.
7. Take good notes and keep them organized. Highlight the keywords, underline important ideas, draw pictures to help you remember concepts. Use the guided notes whenever they are available.
8. Use your first attempt on quizzes and tests as a gauge of your understanding. If you do not do as well as you think you can, study, review, figure out why you got things wrong, ask the teacher for help, visit the google classroom for additional resources. Do not just race through all three attempts without slowing up to correct what you obviously aren’t understanding.
