Prepare for Online Learning

Online learning requires a different set of skills compared to traditional classroom settings.

Encourage them to develop good study habits and time management skills to stay on track with their assignments and deadlines.

Stay in touch with your child’s teachers and success coach and participate in virtual school events while staying informed on their progress.

Encourage a Positive Attitude

Starting a new school year or grade can be challenging, but maintaining a positive attitude is essential. Encourage your child to approach the new grade with enthusiasm and confidence. Celebrate their achievements and provide support during any difficulties they may encounter.
