Tips and Tricks for Success in Remote Learning
- Falcon Time/Office Hours - Take advantage of Falcon Time/Office Hours. These are not formal scheduled times. These are daily open times for you to work with your teacher on homework, get help, and ask your teacher questions individually. Think about this window of time like going to your teachers' classroom before or after school, before lunch, or during Falcon Time. Students who have used this time effectively have told us their grades have improved significantly.
- Environment - Choose a good place to learn. Set up a physical location that’s dedicated to school-focused activities. Make sure it is quiet, free from distractions and has a good internet connection.
- Skyward and Family Access Family Access is a powerful tool for parents to monitor and track their child's attendance and academic progress. Parents and guardians can also configure the type and number of emails they receive including: attendance notifications, weekly progress reports, and low grade notifications.
