Create a Schedule
- Maintain regular daily routines and encourage your student to share whether the schedule is working or not working for them.
- Create a daily schedule that includes time for:
- A consistent time for starting and ending the “school day"
- A consistent time for breakfast and lunch
- Accessing instruction by teachers
- Completing assignments
- Routines for getting outside and moving during breaks (recess)
- Taking “brain breaks” from instructional tasks
- Adequate sleep
- Post the schedule in a spot that is easy to see.
- Help your student set alarms to remind him/her of when they need to be online to access the instruction provided by teachers.
- When possible, balance screen time for learning with other resources such as books, printed materials and games.
- Make time for your student to experience social interaction with peers.
- Make time for "digital recess” (time away from digital devices).
Questions to Ask at Home
- What time of day are you finding is your optimal time of day for doing schoolwork?
- How do you want to fit in breaks?
- What helps you to focus and do your best?
- How often would you like me to check on you?
- Where and how would you like to set up your learning space?
QUESTION FOR PARENTS TO ASK THEMSELVES
- How can I create a schedule that works for multiple students in the home?
- What are ways to create a schedule that balances school, work and family time?
- What are some things that I need to build into my own schedule to maintain a healthy balance?
- What are some routines that can help my family signal the start and end of the school day?
- How can my family work together to create an environment that is positive and as stress-free as possible?
- How can I connect with a friend or relative today? (Consider virtual meetings, phone calls or email.)
A Healthy Learning Environment
- Reassure your student that although this learning at home experience is new for everyone, you're there to help him/her be successful.
- Limit distractions (other devices) and create a space for completing school work that is separate from where eating and play occur, as much as possible.
- Work together to create a space that is comfortable, quiet and dedicated to learning during instructional time.
- Turn the television off during times set aside for learning.
- Work with your student to make the environment meet his/her needs, such as space to stand and listen to online instruction versus sitting still.
- If possible, set aside an area to house instructional materials and resources (paper, writing tools, books, notebooks and resources provided by BSD).
- Help family members find ways to help each other learn, study and practice.
