How Families Can Help Their Child Transition to Online Learning

Although online learning is not everyone's option for learning, it can help support our children's learning during this pandemic. E-learning can not only ensure that students keep up with the curriculum, but it can also provide much-needed structure in days spent at home. It can help students maintain a sense of normalcy.


The following are ways that families can support successful virtual learning for their children:

  • Create a designated workspace - consider your child's individual needs and personality when setting up their workspace. Make sure they have easy access to all materials and supplies.
  • Implement a schedule - write a weekly schedule with your children and keep it posted.
  • Have designated break times - encourage movement breaks and use timers or alarms if necessary.
  • Become familiar with online platforms - check out the parent portals and utilize your child's teacher to help you learn the platform.
  • Remain in communication with teachers - keep open communication with teachers and encourage your children to keep communicating with their teachers by asking questions, etc.
