Guidelines for Distance Learning
Set up a work area for your student at home away from TV/social media distractions
Come up with a schedule, but let your child have input! Distance learning doesn’t have to be between regular school hours. Set aside study times, break times and recreation times that make the most sense for your child.
During work times - consider limiting phone/social media access.
