Parents

While your child is not attending school, the communication triangle between student, parent and school is essential.

At Sakāskohc High School, we want to provide the best educational experience possible. Due to unique restraints of home-study, the partnership between parent and school is even more important than ever.

We welcome your input, encourage you to check your child's work, check in with their teachers, and hope to regularly hear from you.

While the best way for your child to learn is in person, second best is via online home study, where they can 'see/hear' your teacher without being in the same building. However, paper package learning can be used to accommodate homes with internet connectivity challenges.  

Some benefits to on line learning include:

• Technology is more interesting and engaging than paper.

• You may listen to/watch instruction rather than only reading.

• Your student can be interactive with their peers (metaverse).

• Allows you to work at your own preferred pace/time, within reason. 

• There are options for your teacher to 'help' along the way.

• You may even 'see' your teacher.

• You can watch your teacher demonstrate examples as often as needed.

• Quicker feedback for your work. Packages have to sit for days before the teacher can see them, internet assignments are instant..

• Paper packages are NOT environmentally responsible - think of all those trees!
