Teach time awareness When we are in school, students are used to the bells telling them when to get to class on time. They may still need reminders when they are learning at home. Set alerts for class times, use an agenda or digital calendar, and print out student schedules are all great time management tools for students. | Guide students to avoid distractions Kids are using technology as a way to socialize, and that's great. However, we need to make sure students are using school devices for school related topics only. It is important to staying focused and not bog down the chat or post sections in a class TEAMS. | Lead students to build connections Remote learning can cause kids to retreat into themselves. Encourage them to build one-on-one connections with their teachers. Class time may not always be the best time to interrupt the lesson with a question or concern, so suggest that they use office hours to ask questions and get some extra help. |

T-Mobile or Wifi?
The answer is whichever is faster! OPS does have a contract with T-Mobile to ensure all students have access to class content no matter their circumstances.
If you're experiencing any slowness with T-Mobile, you can:
- Put your iPad in airplane mode
- Wait 10-15 seconds
- Take the iPad out of airplane mode
- Reconnect to T-Mobile
You can also go to any T-Mobile store to have technicians there assess the iPad's connection.
If you continue to have trouble, you can email buffettstudent-ts@ops.org and provide your asset tag (barcode on your iPad) and your address for us to forward to T-Mobile.
