Four Things Parents Can Do to Support Students in Virtual Courses

Help Your Child Build a Schedule

2. Assign daily times to work on each subject
3. Stick to the schedule

2. Remove all distractions (i.e. cell phone, TV)

Familiarize Yourself with the Virtual Learning Platform

2. Have you child show you how to login to a Teams meeting
3. Have your child show you how they login to school email accounts
4. Have your child show you how to check Skyward for grades

Make a List of Resources/Supports
