Back to School Night
Hello Dolphin Parents, and welcome to our virtual Back to School Night website.
We are excited for you to join us and learn more about the wonderful offerings of Rosa Parks Middle School. This website consists of a few areas that we encourage you to explore.
Our live discussion will take place by grade-level. Be sure to join the zoom link by 6:30pm to meet your child's team.
Get to know your child's teacher and the courses they will engage in this school year by clicking on the department of your choice. Here you will "virtually" meet our talented teachers.
Please take advantage of the parent workshop and resources we have made available to you. It is our hope that you receive useful and practical information that will help you provide a positive virtual learning experience for your child.
Thank you again for joining us. We would love to hear from you- please complete the parent survey to guide us in designing future virtual parent meetings. Have a GREAT evening!

Helping your child to find success in virtual learning
Help your child create a space for virtual learning. Make sure there is adequate lighting, a desk, pens/pencils and paper, and any other materials that will help your child feel comfortable in his/her learning space.
Post your child's schedule in multiple places - in his/her room, near the desk/computer station, on the refrigerator, etc.
Consider hanging a calendar near your child's workspace, so that your child can post his/her assignments and daily schedule.
Help your child set alarms to remind him/her of when classes begin.
Make sure your child attends all of his/her classes.
Encourage your child to stay engaged during Zoom sessions and turn his/her camera on.
Ask your child about his/her classes every day.
Make sure your child uses the breaks outlined in the schedule to stand up and move. There is a lot of sitting that occurs with virtual learning, so encourage your child to take advantage of the downtime to take a walk, get up and stretch, and get the blood pumping.
Remind your child that this is school and to be in charge of their learning. It is important students complete work, understand material, and make connections. Their learning must continue.
Above all else, don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any concerns. We are here to support your child's success!
